Changeling Hero

Description

The Changeling Hero, card number LRW-9, is a foil uncommon creature from Magic: The Gathering's The List set, released in 2020. Designed by artist Jeff Miracola, this white mana Shapeshifter brings a unique strategic depth to the game through its Changeling keyword ability, which grants it every other creature type. This universal identity allows the card to interact with a wide array of tribal synergies and effects that typically target specific subtypes. With a mana cost of {4}{W} and a power and toughness of 4/4, Changeling Hero serves as a resilient board presence. Its Champion mechanic offers players flexible board control options: upon entering the battlefield, you may sacrifice another creature to exile it, allowing your Champion to mark that card. When the Hero eventually leaves play, the exiled creature returns, effectively preserving key assets or cycling threats. Combined with Lifelink, every instance of damage dealt by this Shapeshifter also heals you, making it a durable option for decks seeking both offensive pressure and survivability. Collectors often seek out The List for its curated selection of reprints and alternate treatments that bridge different eras of Magic history. The foil finish on this LRW-9 variant adds visual appeal to any collection, distinguishing it from standard nonfoil prints. Whether you are building a tribal Shapeshifter deck or simply appreciating the mechanical versatility of the Changeling keyword, this card represents a thoughtful addition to any Magic: The Gathering enthusiast's library. Its enduring utility and distinctive foil treatment make it a notable entry for those who value both gameplay innovation and aesthetic quality in their trading card game cards.
