Viscid Lemures

Description

Viscid Lemures is a foil card from the 2006 Magic: The Gathering Time Spiral expansion, designated as card number 141 in the set. As a Common rarity, this creature card belongs to the black color identity and is classified as a Spirit. The card features a mana cost of {4}{B} and possesses a mana value of five, with a base power and toughness of 4/3. The card’s primary mechanical feature is its activated ability, which allows the controller to pay zero mana to give the creature -1/-0 and grant it Swampwalk until the end of the turn. This ability effectively prevents the creature from being blocked as long as the defending player controls a Swamp land. This design creates strategic interactions centered around land control and board state manipulation during gameplay. Viscid Lemures stands out in this context as a foil variant, offering a distinct visual finish compared to the non-foil common versions. The artwork for this card was created by Drew Tucker, adding to its appeal for those who appreciate the artistic contributions within the Time Spiral print run. Collectors often seek out specific cards from this era to complete their Time Spiral collections or to acquire foil versions of creatures they enjoy playing with. The combination of the card’s unique ability and its foil treatment makes Viscid Lemures a notable entry for enthusiasts of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Whether for deck building interest or collection completeness, this card represents a specific moment in the game's 2006 expansion history.
