Fearless Skald

Description

Fearless Skald represents a distinct entry in the 2024 Magic: The Gathering The List series, identified by the unique MOM-138 catalog number. As an Uncommon card within this subset, it offers collectors a tangible connection to the evolving landscape of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. The card is classified as a Creature — Dwarf Berserker, bringing a specific tribal identity to the collection. For players and collectors alike, the mechanical design of Fearless Skald is its primary point of interest. With a mana cost of {4}{R} and a mana value of 5, the card demands strategic investment to cast. Its most notable feature is the Backup 1 ability, which triggers when the creature enters the battlefield. This effect allows the player to place a +1/+1 counter on a target creature. If that target is another creature, it temporarily gains double strike until the end of the turn. This mechanic highlights the card's role in enhancing team synergy and combat effectiveness. The flavor text associated with the card hints at the broader narrative context of Starnheim, adding depth to the lore without overshadowing the gameplay mechanics. Crafted by artist Slawomir Maniak, the MOM-138 card stands as a notable piece for enthusiasts of the Dwarf Berserker subtype. Collectors focused on completing the The List series or building decks around backup mechanics will find this release particularly relevant. The combination of its tribal subtype, backup utility, and unique set code PLST makes it a valuable component for any serious Magic: The Gathering collection. Whether used in constructed play or simply admired for its mechanical innovation, Fearless Skald remains a key identifier for fans of the 2024 The List expansion.
