Item Description

One red mana to take an opponent's creature, untap it and swing with it: Claim the Firstborn is a heist in a single card. It gains control of a creature with mana value 3 or less until end of turn, untaps it and gives it haste, so the creature that was supposed to block you is suddenly attacking for you.

The real fun starts when you never give it back. Pair it with a sacrifice outlet and the borrowed creature becomes fuel, a trick that has powered aristocrats and sacrifice decks since the card debuted in Throne of Eldraine, where its name nodded to the Rumpelstiltskin fairy tale. In Commander it is a cheap way to steal a utility creature for a turn, pull a blocker out of the way for a lethal attack or feed an opponent's creature to your own death triggers. The English printing's flavor text even has Rowan Kenrith offering her brother Will a bedtime story, a darkly funny pairing with a card about stealing someone's firstborn.

This listing offers two Strixhaven Mystical Archive versions, both foil-etched: the borderless showcase printing, collector number 37, illustrated by Anato Finnstark, and the Japanese-language alternate-art printing, collector number 100, illustrated by Norikatsu Miyoshi. The Mystical Archive celebrated famous instants and sorceries with ornate new frames, and its Japanese versions add distinctive alternate art from Japanese illustrators.
