Woe Strider

Description

The Woe Strider promo card, designated as 123p, is a distinct release from Magic: The Gathering's 2020 Theros Beyond Death Promos series. Designed by John Thacker, this creature card introduces a Horror subtype that appeals to players and collectors interested in the game's deeper mechanical interactions. As a promotional item, it holds a specific place within the Theros Beyond Death catalog, distinguishing itself through its unique rules text rather than standard rarity treatments. Woe Strider functions as a three-mana creature with a power and toughness of 3/2. Its primary appeal lies in its complex abilities, which allow for strategic depth during gameplay. Upon entering the battlefield, it generates a 0/1 white Goat creature token, providing immediate board presence. The card also offers a sacrificial mechanic, enabling players to sacrifice another creature to scry one, refining their hand or library. Most notably, Woe Strider includes an escape cost, allowing it to be cast from the graveyard for {3}{B}{B} by exiling four other cards. When escaped, it enters the battlefield with two +1/+1 counters, transforming its role from a simple attacker to a resilient threat. For collectors, this card represents a tangible piece of the Theros Beyond Death era. The 123p designation identifies it within the promotional subset, making it a target for those tracking specific release variants. Whether building a themed collection or seeking cards with unique graveyard synergy, this product offers a complete view of the card's identity and mechanical function.
