Asinine Antics

Description

The 2023 Wilds of Eldraine Promo release features the card Asinine Antics, designated as card number 42p within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game catalog. As a Mythic Rare Sorcery, this card holds a distinct place in the set's hierarchy, appealing to collectors who appreciate the strategic depth and artistic contributions found in promotional releases. The card was illustrated by Brent Hollowell, whose work defines the visual identity of this print run. From a gameplay perspective, Asinine Antics is a blue Sorcery with a mana cost of {2}{U}{U} and a mana value of 4. Its unique rules allow players to cast the spell as though it had flash by paying an additional {2} mana. The primary effect involves targeting creatures controlled by opponents; for each such creature, the spell creates a Cursed Role token attached to it. This attachment replaces any existing Role on the creature, moving the previous one to the graveyard, and reduces the enchanted creature to a 1/1 power and toughness. This mechanic provides a significant board control option, making the card a notable piece for enthusiasts of the format. Collectors often seek out cards from the Wilds of Eldraine Promos series due to their limited availability and distinct design elements that set them apart from standard expansions. Asinine Antics (42p) represents a high-rarity tier within this group, making it a valuable addition for those building comprehensive Magic: The Gathering collections. Whether for competitive play or archival purposes, this card offers both mechanical interest and aesthetic appeal. The combination of Mythic Rare status, promotional exclusivity, and unique gameplay effects makes Asinine Antics a standout item in any Magic: The Gathering collection.
