Cyclopean Giant

Description

Released in 2006 as part of the Time Spiral set, this Magic: The Gathering trading card showcases the Cyclopean Giant, a black Zombie Giant with the card number 100. Illustrated by Mark Tedin, the foil version of this common card appeals to collectors who appreciate the unique aesthetic of shimmering finishes on standard commons. The card functions as a four-mana creature with four power and two toughness, fitting into black mana strategies within the game. Beyond its mechanical role, the Cyclopean Giant is noted for its specific rules interaction. When this creature leaves the battlefield, it triggers an effect that transforms a target land into a Swamp, adding a layer of strategic depth to gameplay. This mechanic distinguishes it from other giants in the format, making it a memorable piece for players who enjoy land manipulation themes. For collectors focusing on the Time Spiral set, acquiring the foil variant offers a visually distinct addition to any collection, preserving the artistic intent of the original print run. Whether building a complete set or seeking specific cards for deck construction, this product represents a tangible piece of Magic: The Gathering history from the mid-2000s era.
