Faerie Dreamthief

Description

The Faerie Dreamthief card, numbered 377 in the 2023 Magic: The Gathering Wilds of Eldraine set, offers a distinct mechanical profile for players and collectors alike. As an Uncommon foil, this card is designed to appeal to those who appreciate the visual finish of foil treatments within the Wilds of Eldraine collection. The card features a mana cost of one black mana, establishing it as an efficient early-game option in formats that utilize the black color identity. As a Creature — Faerie Warlock, this card brings specific gameplay utility to the table. It possesses a power and toughness of 1/1, but its true value lies in its abilities. The card includes the Flying keyword, allowing it to evade most ground-based blockers. Upon entering the battlefield, it triggers a surveil 1 effect, enabling the player to look at the top card of their library and potentially put it into their graveyard. This interaction helps manage the library and graveyard resources, setting up future synergies. The card also features a powerful activated ability that requires {2}{B} mana and exiling the card from the graveyard. This effect allows the player to draw a card while losing 1 life. This cycle of resource management makes the Faerie Dreamthief a strategic choice for deck builders looking to balance card advantage with life total management. Illustrated by Randy Vargas, this version of the card is part of the WOE set code release. Collectors often seek out specific card numbers within a set to complete their collections, and this Uncommon foil serves as a solid addition to any Wilds of Eldraine binder or display. The combination of its unique creature types and its graveyard interaction mechanics makes it a notable piece of the 2023 Magic: The Gathering landscape.
