Context

This printing is one of 3 catalogued treatments from ME2 — the lineup includes Foil and Nonfoil alongside the standard finish. Across our catalog the Rarix library tracks every variant in the same family so collectors can compare price, scarcity and demand inside a single lineage.

Card #89 of *Masters Edition II*, the set that shipped alongside the September 2008 Masters Edition II release.

Card type: Creature — Avatar Praetor, color identity black, printed at rare. Rares occupy the bottom-of-pack rare slot in standard boosters. Mana cost: {4}{B}{B} (6 converted). Keyword abilities: First strike and Trample.

Legal in Legacy, Vintage, and Commander. This printing is on Wizards of the Coast's Reserved List — Wizards has committed never to reprint cards on that list, which underwrites a structural scarcity floor on every surviving copy.

EDHrec ranks this card #27,510 in Commander, putting it in the fringe-play tier of the format's playable pool.
