Artisan of Kozilek

Description

The Artisan of Kozilek stands as one of the most imposing threats in the Magic: The Gathering universe, serving as a central figure in the 2018 Ultimate Masters set. As a nine-mana Eldrazi creature with a formidable 10/9 power and toughness, this card represents the sheer scale of the Eldrazi plane's invasion force. Collectors of the Ultimate Masters set often seek this card, identified by the code UMA and card number 2, due to its striking illustration by artist Jason Felix and its status as an uncommon rarity within a premium compilation product. For players and collectors alike, the Artisan of Kozilek is defined by its dual ability to dominate the board and support graveyard strategies. Upon being cast, it allows a player to return a target creature from their graveyard to the battlefield, offering significant value and board presence. Furthermore, its Annihilator 2 ability forces opponents to sacrifice two permanents whenever it attacks, creating immediate pressure that can dismantle defensive setups. This combination of raw power and recursive utility makes it a memorable inclusion in the Ultimate Masters lineup, appealing to those who appreciate high-cost, high-impact spells in the trading card game.
