Designed by Dan Murayama Scott, this foil variant captures the mythological essence of the Theros block while providing players with strategic depth during gameplay. Unlike standard non-foil prints, this version features a shimmering finish that distinguishes it visually within any deck box or collector binder.

The card’s design emphasizes its role as a Chimera type, featuring a mana cost of three generic mana and one blue mana to enter play.

Collectors often seek out the foil treatment of this card not just for its gameplay utility, but for the aesthetic appeal it brings to a Theros collection. For those completing the Theros set, this card is an essential component, bridging the gap between offensive flyers and defensive blockers.
