Tormented Hero

Description

The foil finish of Tormented Hero, card number 108 from the Theros expansion, adds a distinct visual layer to this 2013 Magic: The Gathering release. Designed by Winona Nelson, the card presents a black-bordered creature with a mana cost of one black mana and a power and toughness of two over one. As a Human Warrior, it fits into specific creature synergies within the game's broader ecosystem. The card's mechanical identity centers on the Heroic ability, which triggers whenever a spell targets this creature. When this trigger occurs, each opponent loses one life, and the controller gains life equal to the amount lost by the opponents. This life exchange mechanic makes the card a strategic choice for decks focused on creature protection and incremental value. Collectors often seek out the foil variant for its reflective surface treatment, which distinguishes it from the non-foil printings. Owning this card allows enthusiasts to complete their collection of the Theros base set while appreciating the specific artistic interpretation provided by the credited artist. The combination of the foil treatment and the card's unique triggered ability creates a compelling item for both gameplay and display purposes.
