Tomb Robber

Description

The Tomb Robber (RIX-87) is a notable entry in Magic: The Gathering's 2023 The List set, designed by artist Xi Zhang. As a rare Human Pirate creature, this card features a mana cost of two generic mana and one black mana, resulting in a mana value of three. Its power and toughness are set at 1/1, providing a modest but strategic presence on the battlefield. The card's abilities center around the mechanic of menace and exploration. By paying one mana and discarding a card, players can activate its exploration effect. This involves revealing the top card of the library; if it is a land, it is added to the hand. Otherwise, a +1/+1 counter is placed on the creature, and the revealed card is moved to the graveyard. This duality allows for flexible gameplay, supporting both card advantage and board presence. Whether for completing a collection or adding a strategic tool to a deck, this card represents the enduring appeal of the Trading Card Game. The Tomb Robber stands out for its thematic design as a pirate, fitting into the broader narrative of adventure and discovery within the game's lore. Its exploration mechanic encourages players to engage with their library, creating dynamic interactions that define the strategic experience. Collectors often seek out cards from The List for their rarity and the story they tell within the game's expansive universe.
