Carrion Locust

Description

Printed as card number 87 in the set, this common foil variant offers a shimmering finish that enhances the visual appeal of the Insect Horror while maintaining its strategic utility. The card, illustrated by Nino Is, captures the dark aesthetic typical of the Brothers' War era, appealing to those who appreciate both the lore and the mechanical depth of the game. At a mana cost of three, Carrion Locust provides flying and a disruptive ability that targets an opponent's graveyard. When this creature enters the battlefield, it exiles a card from an opponent's graveyard; if that card was a creature, the opponent loses one life. This interaction makes it a valuable tool for disrupting opponent strategies, particularly in formats where graveyard recursion is a common theme. For collectors, owning the foil version of this card adds a layer of prestige to any black-aligned deck or thematic collection focused on the Brothers' War storyline. The Brothers' War set remains a cornerstone of modern Magic history, and foil cards from this release continue to be sought after by dedicated players and collectors alike.
