Rhino's Rampage

Description

Rhino's Rampage is a red-green sorcery card numbered 151 in the 2025 Through the Omenpaths expansion. This card introduces a dynamic two-phase effect that bridges early-game aggression with resource denial. With a mana value of just one, it serves as an efficient tool for players looking to manipulate the board state without exhausting their resources. The card begins by targeting a creature you control, granting it a +1/+0 boost until end of turn. This temporary power increase sets the stage for a forced fight against a target creature controlled by an opponent. Unlike standard combat, this effect bypasses first strike or trample mechanics, forcing a direct comparison of toughness and power. The outcome determines the secondary benefit of the spell. If the targeted opponent's creature survives with damage exceeding its toughness, excess damage triggers a powerful secondary effect. You may destroy up to one target noncreature artifact with a mana value of 3 or less. This interaction makes Rhino's Rampage particularly useful against artifact-heavy strategies, providing a cheap answer to threats that would otherwise require more mana to remove. The card's design encourages players to evaluate their board presence and opponent's artifacts before casting. Designed by Gonzalo Kenny, the card embodies the creative spirit of the Through the Omenpaths set. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading cards often seek this uncommon card for its unique mechanical interplay and efficient cost. It represents a solid addition to any collection focused on red-green strategies or versatile sorceries. The card's straightforward yet impactful rules text ensures it remains a recognizable and functional piece of the game's ever-evolving landscape.
