Description
Mana Skimmer is a black creature card from Magic: The Gathering's 2006 Time Spiral expansion, cataloged as card number 117. Designed by Daniel Gelon, this Leech creature carries a mana cost of three generic and one black mana. In gameplay, it offers the flying keyword, allowing it to bypass ground blockers, while its ability triggers whenever it deals damage to a player. This effect requires the target player to tap a land they control, preventing that land from untapping during their next turn. This mechanic disrupts resource availability, making the card a strategic tool for controlling the board state. Collectors often seek this card to complete the Time Spiral base set, appreciating its role in the set's theme of temporal distortion. The Time Spiral release remains a significant part of Magic's history, and cards like Mana Skimmer are essential for understanding the game's evolving mechanics. Whether for competitive play or collection, this card represents a distinct era of design and strategy.
