Vraska, Swarm's Eminence

Description

Released in 2019 as part of the War of the Spark Promos set, the Vraska, Swarm's Eminence card (236s★) stands as a key promotional release for Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts. This iteration is distinguished by its star-foil treatment, which adds a shimmering, textured quality to the card surface that collectors appreciate for its visual impact and premium feel. Vraska, Swarm's Eminence is a legendary Planeswalker with a mana cost of {2}{B/G}{B/G} and a starting loyalty of 5. The card's abilities center around the deathtouch mechanic, rewarding players who control creatures with this trait. Specifically, whenever one of your deathtouch creatures deals damage to a player or planeswalker, it gains a +1/+1 counter. Her activated ability allows you to create a 1/1 black Assassin creature token with deathtouch, which possesses a unique ability to destroy a planeswalker upon dealing damage to it. This design makes the card a strategic asset in formats that support black and green mana. The card was illustrated by Ryota Murayama, whose artwork complements the dark and intricate aesthetic typical of the War of the Spark era. As an uncommon rarity within the promo subset, this foil version is sought after by players who build decks around Vraska’s swarm tactics and by collectors who focus on completing the War of the Spark Promos series. The combination of her powerful game mechanics and the eye-catching star-foil finish ensures that Vraska, Swarm's Eminence remains a staple in the Magic: The Gathering collectible landscape. Whether you are looking to complete your War of the Spark set or add a powerful Planeswalker to your deck, this card represents a significant piece of the game's modern history.
