Fierce Witchstalker

Description

Fierce Witchstalker is a green creature card from the 2019 Magic: The Gathering expansion, Throne of Eldraine. Identified as card number 154 in the ELD set, this Common rarity card depicts a formidable Wolf with a power and toughness of 4/4. The mana cost of {2}{G}{G} positions it as a mid-game threat that fits into many green-based strategies within the trading card game. The card's utility stems from its combination of aggressive stats and a synergistic ability. When Fierce Witchstalker enters the battlefield, it creates a Food token. This artifact allows players to sacrifice it to gain 3 life, providing a resource advantage that supports longevity and defense. Additionally, the creature possesses Trample, meaning any excess combat damage it deals to a blocking creature can be directed at the opposing player or planeswalker. This trait makes it a consistent damage dealer in direct attacks. Throne of Eldraine draws inspiration from fairy tale folklore, and Fierce Witchstalker embodies the wild, untamed aspects of that world. The flavor text hints at a balance of power in the wilds, contrasting with the structured laws of the realm. For collectors, this card serves as a foundational piece of the 2019 set. Its straightforward design and practical gameplay mechanics make it a recognizable component for those assembling complete copies of the Throne of Eldraine series. Whether used for casual play or as a collectible entry in a larger library, the card represents a solid example of the set's creature lineup. The artwork by Nicholas Gregory adds to the visual appeal, though the card's mechanical identity remains its primary focus for gameplay. As a Common, it is widely distributed, yet it remains a key identifier for the set in any Magic: The Gathering collection.
