Description

The Ancient One (LCI 222, Mythic Rare) is a legendary Legendary Creature — Spirit God from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan printed as a foil. It has Descend 8, meaning it can't attack or block unless you have eight or more permanent cards in your graveyard, and an activated ability for {2}{U}{B} that draws then discards a card and causes a reflexive triggered mill equal to the discarded card's mana value. As an 8/8 with those abilities and blue-black color identity, it supports graveyard-combo strategies and graveyard-contention game plans.
