Product Overview

Description

The 2007 Magic: The Gathering Tenth Edition foil card #55, Venerable Monk, stands as a foundational piece for any collector of the TCG. Printed as a common card with a foil finish, this release offers a distinct aesthetic appeal that sets it apart from standard nonfoil versions within the set. The card features art by D. Alexander Gregory, bringing a visual quality that enhances the physical card's value for hobbyists who appreciate the craftsmanship of foil treatments. Venerable Monk is categorized as a Creature — Human Monk Cleric, requiring {2}{W} mana to cast. With a mana value of 3 and a power/toughness of 2/2, it provides a reliable presence on the battlefield. Its ability triggers when it enters the battlefield, allowing the player to gain 2 life, a defensive benefit that aligns with its white mana identity. The flavor text, "Age wears the flesh but galvanizes the soul," adds a narrative layer that resonates with the card's thematic design. The combination of the Tenth Edition's iconic status and the foil treatment makes this card a desirable item for both casual players and serious collectors looking to expand their Magic: The Gathering library.
