Faunsbane Troll

Description

The Faunsbane Troll (203p) is a 2023 promotional card from Magic: The Gathering’s Wilds of Eldraine series, designed with a striking foil finish that distinguishes it within the set. Created by artist Artur Nakhodkin, this 4/4 Creature — Troll demands a mana cost of {2}{B}{G}, offering a robust entry into the board for players seeking tactical depth. The card’s primary appeal lies in its intricate interaction with Auras, making it a compelling choice for decks built around enchantment synergy. Upon entering the battlefield, Faunsbane Troll creates a Monster Role token attached to itself. This attachment grants the creature +1/+1 and the trample ability, significantly boosting its offensive potential. The card’s secondary ability allows players to sacrifice an attached Aura to make Faunsbane Troll fight a target creature they do not control. If that opposing creature would die this turn, it is exiled instead, providing a powerful removal option that scales with the player’s aura investment. This mechanic encourages strategic planning, as players must carefully manage their enchantment resources to maximize the troll’s combat effectiveness. Collectors value the 203p numbering and the premium foil treatment, which adds visual appeal to any Magic: The Gathering trading card collection. The Wilds of Eldraine Promos release represents a distinct era in the game’s history, appealing to those who appreciate both gameplay innovation and aesthetic presentation. Whether you are looking to complete a specific subset or add a unique creature to your binder, this card offers a blend of mechanical complexity and collectible design. The Faunsbane Troll stands as a testament to the creative possibilities within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, inviting collectors to explore its strategic nuances and distinctive foil finish.
