Krosan Cloudscraper

Description

The Krosan Cloudscraper stands as a formidable presence in the 2006 Magic: The Gathering Time Spiral set, specifically within its specialized Timeshifted subset. Identified by card number 82 and the set code TSB, this green creature is a Beast Mutant with a massive power and toughness of 13/13. Its high mana value of 10 reflects the significant resource investment required to deploy this unit to the battlefield. The card’s design and mechanical depth make it a notable piece for collectors focused on the Time Spiral era or those seeking to complete the Timeshifted subset. Mechanically, the Krosan Cloudscraper offers strategic complexity through its upkeep sacrifice ability. At the start of your upkeep, you must choose to keep this massive creature by paying {G}{G}, or let it leave play. This ongoing cost balances its overwhelming 13/13 stats, requiring careful resource management. Additionally, the card features the Morph ability, allowing you to cast it face down as a 2/2 creature for {3}. You may later turn it face up for its morph cost of {7}{G}{G}, revealing its true power when the moment is right. This dual nature appeals to players who appreciate high-risk, high-reward designs. The Timeshifted subset brings back older cards with updated art and new functionalities, and the Krosan Cloudscraper is a prime example of this design philosophy. For collectors, acquiring this card means owning a piece of Magic history that bridges past mechanics with the Time Spiral aesthetic. Whether you are building a themed collection or simply appreciate the sheer scale of the Beast Mutant, this card from The catalog represents a significant item for any serious Magic: The Gathering collection. Its unique combination of size, cost, and morph capability ensures it remains a memorable and valuable addition to your holdings.
