Description
Polukranos, World Eater stands as a formidable presence in the Magic: The Gathering Theros expansion released in 2013. As a legendary creature of the Hydra subtype, this card commands attention with its {2}{G}{G} mana cost and a base power and toughness of 5/5. The card introduces the Monstrosity mechanic, allowing players to pay {X}{X}{G} to place +1/+1 counters on it. When Polukranos becomes monstrous, it deals X damage divided among target creatures opponents control, while those creatures deal damage back equal to their power to Polukranos. This unique interaction makes it a strategic centerpiece for green-based decks. For collectors, the foil version of this card offers a distinct aesthetic appeal within the Theros set. Illustrated by Johann Bodin, the card is identified by the set code THS and card number 172. The mythic rare rarity designation signifies its importance within the set's hierarchy, making it a sought-after addition for those building comprehensive collections. The combination of its powerful gameplay mechanics and the shimmering foil finish creates a compelling piece for Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts. Whether viewed for its strategic depth or its collectible qualities, Polukranos, World Eater represents a significant moment in the game's history, appealing to both competitive players and dedicated collectors who appreciate the artistry and complexity of the Theros block.
