Description

Released as a Rare card within the UNK set, this product stands out for its innovative gameplay mechanics that challenge standard deck construction rules. Unlike typical creature cards, Awoken Nephilim allows players to name a Nephilim card originally printed in the Guildpact expansion during deck building. This choice determines the card's color identity and transforms Awoken Nephilim into a copy of that named card across all zones, while retaining its own Legendary status. This unique interaction makes it a fascinating addition for collectors interested in the strategic depth and creative design of Magic: The Gathering's more experimental sets. The card's zero mana cost and */* power/toughness further emphasize its role as a versatile and powerful entity within the game's complex framework. Collectors and players alike appreciate the Awoken Nephilim for its ability to bridge different eras of Magic lore, specifically connecting the Unknown Event to the Guildpact era. This product represents a key piece for enthusiasts of Legendary creatures and those who enjoy the strategic nuances of card identity mechanics. Whether you are building a themed deck or simply appreciating the creative freedom within Magic: The Gathering, the Awoken Nephilim offers a compelling glimpse into the game's evolving design philosophy.
