Released in 2023 as part of the Wilds of Eldraine Commander subset, the Court of Locthwain foil card stands out in Magic: The Gathering circles for its potent gameplay mechanics. As card number 31 in this Commander release, this enchantment is a staple for players looking to control the board through the monarch mechanic. The foil treatment adds a distinct visual appeal for collectors who appreciate the shimmering finish on this rare card. The card's design centers on a black mana identity, requiring a mana cost of {2}{B}{B} to cast. Upon entering the battlefield, it immediately establishes its presence by making the controller the monarch. This sets the stage for the card's primary engine: at the beginning of the controller's upkeep, they exile the top card of a target opponent's library. The controller can then play that exiled card for as long as it remains exiled, with the unique ability to spend mana of any type to cast it. This flexibility allows for unexpected answers or threats to be deployed from the exile zone. A key feature of Court of Locthwain is its synergy with the monarch status. If the controller is the monarch, they gain the ability to cast a spell from among the cards exiled with this enchantment without paying its mana cost until end of turn. This makes it a versatile tool for both resource denial and sudden bursts of value. The card's mana value of 4 places it firmly in the mid-game, requiring strategic planning to maximize its potential. For collectors focusing on the Wilds of Eldraine era, this foil variant offers a tangible connection to the 2023 release. The artwork by Julie Dillon complements the card's dark, regal theme, though the foil finish ensures it catches the eye regardless of the illustration's details. Whether building a deck around monarch strategies or simply adding a powerful enchantment to a collection, this card from the Commander subset holds significant interest. The combination of its unique rules text and the foil treatment makes it a notable entry in the Wilds of Eldraine Commander set.
