Mourwhelk Black Card in Magic the Gathering

Video Transcript

"MIKE LOPEZ: Hi. I'm Mike Lopez with Expert Village, and today we're going to be discussing the black color from "Magic: The Gathering". And here we have the "Mournwhelk". "Mournwhelk" is a very powerful card and at the Lorwyn block. It is a common; it'll cost you 20 to 25 cents in your local gaming store. It's the creature "Elemental." Once again, Elementals are very powerful nowadays because Lorwyn is building every creature type up. It is six and a black, and you're getting a 3/3 creature. Now, six and a black means your converted mana cost is seven, which means you're paying four extra then the 3/3 which actually 3/3 should be four in converted mana cost so you technically playing three extra, but this means it is going to come with a cool ability: "When Mournwhelk comes into play, target player discards two cards." So again, this is two cards from his end and must go into his graveyard. Also, this card has an evoke comment, which means that you can play this card for its evoke cost, which is three and a black, and this creature is going to come into play, and then you have to sacrifice him. However, when it comes in the play, it still deals its ability, which is that the target player has to discard two cards. It's a very powerful card."
