Lorthos, the Tidemaker

Description

Lorthos, the Tidemaker (ZEN-53) stands as a formidable presence in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Released in 2020 as part of The List series, this Mythic Rare legendary creature — Octopus brings a distinct strategic threat to the table. Designed by Kekai Kotaki, the card captures the essence of a powerful deepwater entity that dominates the battlefield with sheer force and control. As an eight-mana investment, Lorthos enters the game with an impressive 8/8 power and toughness, making it a durable anchor for any blue-based strategy. Its primary ability allows players to tap up to eight target permanents when it attacks, provided they can pay the eight-mana cost. This effect significantly disrupts opponents' plans by preventing those permanents from untapping during their next untap steps, effectively freezing key components of their board state. The card's design emphasizes its mythical nature, appealing to fans of creature-heavy decks and control strategies. Owning a copy of Lorthos, the Tidemaker offers a tangible piece of Magic's rich lore and mechanical depth, perfect for completionists or those who appreciate high-impact legendary creatures. Whether you are building a collection focused on legendary octopuses or seeking powerful Mythic Rare cards for your Magic: The Gathering collection, this release provides a compelling option. The List series continues to be a favorite among collectors for its curated selections and unique identifiers, making ZEN-53 a noteworthy addition to any serious collection. Explore the strategic possibilities and artistic interpretation of this deep-sea titan.
