Cephalid Constable

Description

The Cephalid Constable stands out in the 2007 release of Magic: The Gathering Tenth Edition as a defining blue creature. As card number 72 in the set, this foil rarity features the Octopus Wizard with a mana cost of three blue mana. In gameplay, the Cephalid Constable brings a distinct tactical advantage to any deck. Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, it allows you to return up to that many target permanents from their side to their owner's hand. This ability creates significant disruption, forcing opponents to reconsider their board position and resource allocation. The card's 1/1 power and toughness mean it requires support to survive, but its effect can shift the momentum of a game entirely. Collectors value this card for its place in the Tenth Edition, a pivotal release that reprinted many beloved staples for new and returning players. The foil treatment adds a layer of visual appeal, catching the light with its shimmering finish. Whether you are building a competitive blue control deck or simply expanding your Magic: The Gathering collection, the Cephalid Constable offers both nostalgic charm and functional depth. Its unique flavor text, "Cephalids don't police people. They police loyalties," hints at the intricate social dynamics of the Cephalid society on the island of Urborg. This card remains a staple for those who appreciate clever mechanics and classic artwork in the trading card game.
