Scragnoth

Description

The 2006 Time Spiral expansion brought a nostalgic twist to Magic: The Gathering with its Timeshifted subset, which featured reprinted cards from earlier sets. Among these nostalgic returns is card number 83, the Scragnoth. This creature card stands out not just for its history, but for its distinct foil treatment that catches the light, making it a visually appealing addition to any collection. Scragnoth is a Beast with a mana cost of four generic mana and one green mana. It enters the battlefield with three power and four toughness, providing a solid defensive presence on the board. What makes this card particularly interesting for gameplay is its unique ability: the spell cannot be countered, and it grants protection from blue. This combination of uncounterability and protection is rare and powerful, offering strategic depth that appeals to both competitive players and casual collectors. The Timeshifted cards in Time Spiral were printed with a silver border, a clear visual distinction from the black-bordered cards of the main set. This silver border has become a hallmark of the subset, instantly recognizable to seasoned players. The Scragnoth foil card retains this silver border, adding to its collectible value as a piece of Magic history. For collectors, the Scragnoth foil card represents a bridge between past and present in Magic: The Gathering. It allows collectors to own a piece of the game's rich history while enjoying the aesthetic appeal of the Timeshifted subset. Whether you are building a collection of Timeshifted cards or simply appreciate the unique gameplay mechanics of Scragnoth, this card is a worthy addition.
