Nemata, Grove Guardian

Description

Nemata, Grove Guardian (PLS-85) is a 2023 release from the Magic: The Gathering The List series, featuring the legendary Treefolk creature. Designed by John Avon, this rare card brings a powerful presence to the green mana pool with a mana cost of {4}{G}{G} and a sturdy 4/5 power and toughness.

This flexibility appeals to collectors who appreciate strategic depth alongside the visual appeal of the illustration. The card’s green color identity and legendary supertype align it with specific deck-building strategies, adding to its relevance in casual and competitive formats. For those building a comprehensive collection of Magic: The Gathering cards, Nemata, Grove Guardian represents a notable addition from a recent and highly regarded set.
