Product Overview

Description

Designed by Volta Creation, this card represents a significant crossover event, bringing the iconic Cybertronian character into the strategic landscape of Magic: The Gathering. This product is characterized by its unique transform mechanic, allowing players to engage with the card in two distinct forms. The first side, Cyclonus, the Saboteur, functions as a Legendary Artifact Creature — Robot with a mana cost of {2}{U}{B} and a mana value of 4. It possesses the flying ability and a potent triggered ability that activates whenever it deals combat damage to a player. This effect triggers a connive action, drawing a card and discarding a nonland card to place a +1/+1 counter on the creature. Once its power reaches 5 or greater, the card converts into its second form. The second side, Cyclonus, Cybertronian Fighter, offers a different strategic pathway with a higher mana cost of {5}{U}{B}. This dual-sided structure adds depth to deck building, as players must manage the creature's power level to unlock its full potential. The card's blue and black color identity provides access to powerful spell effects and control strategies, making it a versatile addition to various deck archetypes. The card serves as a key piece for enthusiasts looking to complete their Transformers collection or those interested in the evolving design of transform cards within Magic: The Gathering. Its presence highlights the growing diversity of crossover products available to modern collectors.
