Description
Released in 2020 as part of the Zendikar Rising expansion, the Shatterskull Charger is a notable Rare card within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Identified by set code ZNR and card number 353, this creature belongs to the Giant Warrior subtype and costs three mana to cast. The card features artwork by Lius Lasahido, bringing the aggressive nature of the set's themes to life on the battlefield. Mechanically, the Shatterskull Charger offers strategic depth through its Kicker ability. By paying an additional mana cost, players can enhance the creature's entry into play. When kicked, the card enters with a +1/+1 counter, granting it immediate resilience and power. It also possesses Trample and Haste, allowing it to attack immediately and push damage through smaller blockers. If the Kicker cost is not paid, the card has a unique drawback: at the beginning of the end step, it returns to its owner's hand if it lacks a counter. This design creates a high-risk, high-reward dynamic for commanders and drafters looking to build aggressive decks. Collectors appreciate this card for its solid frame and its representation of the Zendikar Rising era, making it a valuable addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection focused on this set.
