Description
Released in 2023 as part of the Universes Within series, Maarika, Brutal Gladiator (Card Number 15) is a distinct entry in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Printed with a mana cost of {2}{B}{R}{G}, this legendary creature embodies the Human Warrior subtype with a formidable 7/4 power and toughness. Gameplay-wise, Maarika introduces a compelling dynamic to the table. It enforces a mandatory blocking requirement, challenging opponents to engage directly. During the controller's turn, the card gains indestructible, allowing it to persist through combat damage. Furthermore, its damage output triggers a powerful secondary effect: if Maarika deals excess damage to a creature, the opposing player must sacrifice a noncreature, nonland permanent. This mechanic adds strategic depth, appealing to players who enjoy aggressive, board-control strategies. For collectors focusing on the Universes Within set, this card represents a key component of the series' identity. The combination of its multi-color identity and unique abilities makes it a standout item for those building comprehensive collections of Magic: The Gathering cards.
