Robber of the Rich

Description

The 2019 Throne of Eldraine Promos release features Robber of the Rich, a foil mythic rare trading card card number 138s from the Magic: The Gathering universe. Designed by Paul Scott Canavan, this creature card represents a Human Archer Rogue with a mana cost of {1}{R} and a power and toughness of 2/2. Its design emphasizes the subject's rogue identity within the set's fantasy aesthetic, making it a distinct addition for collectors of premium finishes. Beyond its visual appeal, Robber of the Rich offers compelling gameplay mechanics. The card possesses reach and haste, allowing it to impact the battlefield immediately upon being cast. Its primary ability triggers whenever it attacks: if the defending player has more cards in hand than you, the top card of their library is exiled. This hand disruption mechanic adds strategic depth, rewarding players who can manage their resource advantage effectively. The card's secondary ability provides additional value. During any turn you attacked with a Rogue, you may cast the exiled card. You may spend mana as though it were mana of any color to cast that spell, offering immense flexibility in deck construction and in-game decision-making. This synergy with other Rogue creatures makes it a functional piece for themed strategies, even as it stands alone as a collectible artifact. For collectors of Magic: The Gathering, the foil finish and mythic rare rarity make this promo card a desirable item. The Throne of Eldraine era introduced unique artistic styles and mechanical innovations, and this card captures that spirit. Whether you are building a collection of mythic rares or focusing on specific creature types like Rogues, this card holds a place in the hobby. Its combination of aggressive stats, disruption, and versatile casting options makes it a memorable part of the 2019 set.
