Boarding Party

Description

CMR-163, titled Boarding Party, is a distinct release from the 2024 Magic: The Gathering The List product line. This Common rarity card is illustrated by Sidharth Chaturvedi and depicts a Human Pirate creature with a mana cost of {5}{R} and a power/toughness of 6/3. The card’s mechanical identity centers on two powerful keywords: Haste and Cascade. Haste allows the creature to attack or use activated abilities immediately upon entering the battlefield, bypassing the standard summoning sickness rule. The Cascade ability triggers when you cast Boarding Party, allowing you to exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card with a lower mana cost. You may then cast that exiled card without paying its mana cost before returning all exiled cards to the bottom of your library in a random order. Boarding Party represents a strategic option for players who enjoy aggressive, high-impact plays that can shift the board state quickly. The combination of a six-mana creature that can attack immediately and potentially generate additional value through Cascade makes it a notable inclusion for enthusiasts of red-colored strategies. Whether you are building a collection of specific creatures or focusing on cards with versatile mechanics, Boarding Party offers a compelling piece of Magic history. The card’s straightforward design and potent effects ensure it remains a relevant topic for discussion and collection among the Magic community.
