Virtue of Persistence // Locthwain Scorn

Description

Virtue of Persistence // Locthwain Scorn is a dual-faced card from the 2023 Wilds of Eldraine Promos set, designated as card number 115p. Crafted by artist Piotr Dura, this Mythic Rare release bridges two distinct gameplay phases within a single card layout. Players begin with the enchantment side, which requires a mana cost of {5}{B}{B} to cast. This phase establishes a persistent presence on the battlefield, utilizing a seven mana value to influence the game state through sustained effects. When the moment is right, the Adventure mechanic allows the card to transform. The second face, Locthwain Scorn, functions as a Sorcery with a {1}{B} mana cost. This transformation offers a more immediate and efficient way to utilize the card's power, enabling casters to trigger its sorcery effects without committing to the full enchantment duration. This flexibility makes it a valuable addition for collectors who appreciate the strategic depth and mechanical innovation found in Magic: The Gathering design. The card belongs to the black color identity, aligning it with themes of death, sacrifice, and control. For enthusiasts of the trading card game, owning this promo card provides a tangible connection to the Wilds of Eldraine era. The dual nature of the card encourages players to consider both long-term board presence and short-term burst damage or utility, depending on their deck's needs. Collecting Magic: The Gathering cards often involves seeking out unique mechanics and high-rarity prints. This card’s structure represents a sophisticated design choice that rewards players for understanding its dual potential. Whether building a competitive deck or curating a personal collection, this promo card stands out for its mechanical versatility and Mythic Rare status. It serves as a reminder of the evolving complexity within the game, appealing to those who value both aesthetic presentation and functional gameplay depth.
