Cyclonus, the Saboteur // Cyclonus, Cybertronian Fighter

Description

Cyclonus, the Saboteur // Cyclonus, Cybertronian Fighter, card number 9 from Magic: The Gathering's 2022 Transformers set, stands as a formidable presence for collectors of crossover TCG products. Designed by artist Volta Creation, this Mythic Rare foil card captures the essence of the iconic Cybertronian warrior, offering a unique collectible piece for fans of both the card game and the franchise. As a Legendary Artifact Creature — Robot, this card features a split card design that allows it to be cast in two distinct forms. The primary face, Cyclonus, the Saboteur, can be cast for its converted mana cost of {2}{U}{B}, granting the creature Flying and a potent triggered ability. When Cyclonus deals combat damage to a player, it triggers a connive effect: you draw a card and then discard a card. If the discarded card is not a land, you place a +1/+1 counter on Cyclonus, increasing its power and toughness. The card's second face, Cyclonus, Cybertronian Fighter, is accessed through the transform mechanic, which becomes available if Cyclonus's power reaches 5 or greater after applying counters. This transformation is triggered by the {5}{U}{B} cost printed in the top right corner, allowing players to convert the creature into its alternate form. This dual-state gameplay mechanic makes the card a strategic asset, appealing to collectors who appreciate complex interactions and thematic depth. The foil finish adds a premium aesthetic to this Mythic Rare, enhancing its visual appeal for display and collection. Whether you are building a Transformers-themed deck or seeking a high-rarity artifact for your MTG library, this card represents a significant addition. Its unique design and powerful abilities make it a sought-after item among Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts and Transformers collectors alike.
