Description
The Kor Hookmaster is a white creature card from the 2009 Magic: The Gathering Zendikar expansion, carrying card number 20 and the set code ZEN. Designed by Wayne Reynolds, this common card depicts a Kor Soldier that serves as a functional tool within the game's mechanics. As a member of the Kor species, this card represents the nomadic, rope-tied warriors native to the Zendikar plane, offering players a straightforward yet effective interaction piece. The card's mana cost of {2}{W} and mana value of 3 make it an accessible inclusion in decks focused on the white color identity. Its primary ability triggers upon entering the battlefield, allowing the controller to tap a target creature an opponent controls and prevent it from untapping during that player's next untap step. This effect provides a temporary form of control, disrupting opponent strategies without removing the threat from the board permanently. Whether used in casual play or collected as part of a complete Zendikar set, this card remains a memorable piece of Magic history.
