Product Overview

Description

The Somber Hoverguard is a blue drone creature card from the 2019 Magic: The Gathering The List expansion, designated by the set code PLST and card number MM2-57. This Common card requires six mana to cast, consisting of five generic mana and one blue mana, resulting in a mana value of six. On the battlefield, it enters as a 3/2 power and toughness creature with the flying ability, allowing it to bypass ground-based blockers during combat. The card’s primary strategic value comes from its affinity for artifacts. For every artifact you control on the battlefield, the casting cost for Somber Hoverguard is reduced by one generic mana. This mechanic allows players to deploy the creature significantly earlier in the game than its base mana cost suggests, provided they have established an artifact-heavy strategy. As a member of the Drone subtype, it synergizes well with other artifact-based decks that aim to maximize the number of permanents on the field. Collectors often seek this card to complete their The List set or to utilize it in artifact-centric decks within formats where it is legal. Its straightforward design and reliable mechanic make it a staple for players looking to optimize their mana curve. Collectors can explore the growing inventory to find this drone creature for their collection or deck building needs. Whether you are a seasoned player or new to the hobby, finding the right cards is essential for building a competitive and aesthetically pleasing collection.
