Wicked Wolf

Description

The Wicked Wolf (181s) is a distinctive foil promo card from the 2019 Magic: The Gathering Throne of Eldraine Promos set, designed by artist Tomasz Jedruszek. Classified as a Rare creature with the subtype Wolf, this card carries a mana cost of {2}{G}{G} and stands as a key component for builders focusing on green-based strategies. Its card number, 181s, identifies it specifically within the promotional checklist of the PELD set, distinguishing it from the standard base set releases. As a four-mana creature with a power and toughness of 3/3, the Wicked Wolf offers immediate board presence while providing strategic depth through its unique triggered and activated abilities. When the card enters the battlefield, it initiates a fight against up to one target creature you do not control, offering a flexible removal option that does not rely on instant-speed spells. This mechanical design appeals to collectors who value cards with interactive gameplay elements that influence the flow of the match. The card also features an activated ability tied to the Food mechanic, allowing players to sacrifice a Food artifact to place a +1/+1 counter on the Wicked Wolf. This action grants the creature indestructible status until the end of the turn and includes a tap effect, adding layers of tactical decision-making for both offense and defense. The foil treatment enhances the visual presentation of the card, making it a sought-after item for those who appreciate the aesthetic variety found in promotional releases. The Wicked Wolf serves as an essential piece for completing the promotional subset, particularly for investors and hobbyists looking to diversify their holdings with cards that feature distinct foil finishes. Its combination of solid stats, versatile abilities, and specific set identity makes it a notable entry in the 2019 promotional landscape.
