Terastodon

Description

The 2010 Worldwake expansion from Magic: The Gathering introduced Terastodon as card number 115, a distinct entry for collectors and players alike. Crafted by artist Lars Grant-West, this Rare card represents a significant addition to the WWK set, appealing to those who appreciate the depth of the game's creature design and mechanical complexity. As a green Creature — Elephant, Terastodon commands attention with its substantial mana cost of {6}{G}{G}, reflecting its high mana value of 8 and its imposing 9/9 power and toughness. In gameplay, Terastodon offers a powerful board-clearing effect paired with resource generation. When this creature enters the battlefield, its triggered ability allows you to target up to three noncreature permanents and destroy them. Crucially, for every permanent sent to the graveyard this way, its controller creates a 3/3 green Elephant creature token. This dual effect makes the card a formidable tool for shifting board states while simultaneously building a defensive or offensive presence of your own elephants. The ability to generate tokens from destruction provides a unique strategic layer, rewarding players for removing key opponent assets while expanding their own army. Whether you are building a themed deck around elephant synergies or simply appreciate the artistic and mechanical contributions of the WWK set, this card remains a notable piece of the game's history. Its presence in the 2010 Worldwake print run ensures it holds a specific place in the chronological expansion of Magic: The Gathering, making it a relevant item for enthusiasts tracking the evolution of the game's creature types and abilities.
