Description
The 2023 Magic: The Gathering card Snapsail Rider (RR05) emerges from the Unknown Event set as a high-impact Rare creature. Classified as a Goblin Rogue with a mana cost of {4}{R} and a mana value of 5, this card commands the board with a formidable 6/5 power and toughness. Its red color identity aligns it with aggressive strategies, while its specific subtype combination offers unique interaction within the game's complex ruleset. Snapsail Rider distinguishes itself through a powerful enters-the-battlefield ability that dramatically shifts the game's stakes. When played, the card triggers a mechanic that increases the base point value of the match from 3 to 6, fundamentally altering the conditions for victory. This effect, paired with the Trample keyword, allows the creature to push through damage even when blocked by multiple defenders. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering often seek out this product for its innovative design that challenges standard gameplay assumptions. The Unknown Event set provides a unique backdrop for such experimental mechanics, making Snapsail Rider a notable addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection focused on unique card interactions and set-specific lore.
