Endangered Armodon

Description

Endangered Armodon is a distinct green creature card from the 2015 Tempest Remastered set, identified by the card number 171 and set code TPR. Designed by Kev Walker, this common rarity card brings a classic fantasy archetype to the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. As a four-mana creature with a power and toughness of 4/5, it serves as a substantial presence on the battlefield for players building green-based decks. The card’s identity is defined by its unique drawback, which adds a layer of strategic tension to gameplay. When a player controls another creature with toughness two or less, they must sacrifice Endangered Armodon. This mechanic forces deck builders to carefully consider the types of creatures they include in their libraries, ensuring that smaller threats do not inadvertently trigger the elephant’s demise. The flavor text accompanying the card, which notes that it is doomed to be remembered only until hunters hunger again, underscores the creature’s precarious existence within the game's lore. For collectors of Magic: The Gathering, Tempest Remastered offers a curated experience that allows enthusiasts to revisit beloved cards from the original Tempest block. This reprint provides an accessible entry point for those looking to complete their Tempest collections or acquire specific staples for casual play. The card remains a recognizable piece of the game's history, appealing to both veteran players familiar with its original release and new fans discovering its mechanics for the first time. Whether used in home games or studied as part of a broader collection, Endangered Armodon represents a solid example of early Magic design philosophy.
