Anax, Hardened in the Forge

Description

Anax, Hardened in the Forge represents a compelling entry within the 2024 The List release of Magic: The Gathering. Identified by the catalog number THB-125, this card is printed as an Uncommon rarity, making it accessible for collectors who appreciate the strategic depth of the game's legendary creature lineup. The card features artwork by Eric Deschamps, bringing the character to life for fans of the franchise's rich lore. As a Legendary Enchantment Creature — Demigod, Anax offers a unique mechanical profile for players and collectors alike. The card requires a mana cost of {1}{R}{R} and has a mana value of 3. Its power is dynamic, scaling based on the player's devotion to red, which counts every red mana symbol in the mana costs of permanents they control. This design encourages players to build decks that maximize red mana presence to unleash Anax's full potential. The card's ability to generate creature tokens adds significant value to any deck. Whenever Anax or another nontoken creature you control dies, you create a 1/1 red Satyr creature token that cannot block. If the dying creature had power 4 or greater, this effect doubles, creating two tokens instead. This mechanic makes Anax, Hardened in the Forge a focal point for strategies that revolve around sacrifice or death triggers, appealing to collectors who enjoy cards with interactive and powerful effects. Acquiring THB-125 allows you to own a piece of this diverse collection, representing both the artistic and mechanical innovations of Magic: The Gathering.
