Identified by the set code ZEN and card number 118, this common rarity card represents the red mana color in the trading card game. With a mana cost of {3}{R} and a mana value of 4, it serves as a mid-game option for players seeking to establish board presence.

The Bladetusk Boar, illustrated by Paul Bonner, is a memorable entry in this expansion.
