Blighted Agent

Description

The Blighted Agent card from the 2020 Magic: The Gathering The List set (NPH-29) brings a distinct Phyrexian threat to the tabletop. As a Common foil, this release captures the menacing aesthetic of the faction through its shimmering finish while maintaining the strategic weight of its original printing. The card features artwork by Anthony Francisco, adding visual depth to this iconic creature. In gameplay, Blighted Agent operates as a two-mana blue creature with the type line Creature — Phyrexian Human Rogue. Its primary strength lies in its dual disruptive abilities. The infect keyword allows it to deal damage to opponents in the form of poison counters, bypassing traditional life totals, while simultaneously applying -1/-1 counters to opposing creatures. This makes it a potent tool for controlling the board and pressuring opponents directly. Additionally, the card possesses the ability to remain unblockable, ensuring that its damage output reaches its intended targets without interference from opposing defenders. The Blighted Agent foil is particularly appealing to players who appreciate the Phyrexian lore and the aggressive, disruptive playstyle associated with the Infect mechanic. Whether you are building a casual deck focused on poison or simply looking to expand your library with high-quality foils, this card offers both mechanical utility and aesthetic appeal.
