Selenia, Dark Angel

Description

Selenia, Dark Angel is a distinctive legendary creature card found in the 2015 Tempest Remastered set, identified by catalog number 210.

With a mana value of five, it serves as a mid-to-late game presence for players looking to control the board or execute specific strategies.

I must give my life to serve; not even death can release me," underscores the character's tragic, immortal bond to her purpose.
