Description
Released in 2007 as part of the landmark Tenth Edition set, the Spark Elemental card (number 237★) stands out in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game community for its distinctive star foil treatment. Designed by artist John Avon, this uncommon red creature captures the essence of volatile magic with its 3/1 power and toughness stats. The card’s gameplay offers immediate impact, granting haste so it can attack or tap the turn it enters, while trample allows excess damage to push through to opposing players or planeswalkers. However, its unique drawback requires the controller to sacrifice the creature at the beginning of the end step, adding a strategic layer to its use. Collectors often seek this star foil variant for its visual appeal within the set's core design language. Whether building a personal collection or completing the Tenth Edition checklist, this card represents a significant piece of MTG history. The combination of its iconic red mana cost, the artist's interpretation, and the foil finish makes it a memorable addition to any library of classic Magic cards.
