Item Condition

Magic: The Gathering single: Mind Flayer, the Shadow. Our grade: Near Mint. Pictured: this printing of the card. Every card ships triple-sleeved — a soft sleeve, a deck sleeve and a rigid top loader.

Item Description

The Mind Flayer, the Shadow Monster of Stranger Things, spreads its influence through everything it touches, and its Magic card works the same way. Mind Flayer, the Shadow is a seven-mana black legendary enchantment creature, a 9/9 Horror that starts out as an enchantment and only becomes a creature once you control three or more permanents you don't own.

Getting there is the fun part. At the beginning of your end step, it exiles the bottom card of each opponent's library face down. For as long as those cards stay exiled, you can look at them, cast permanent spells from among them, and spend mana as though it were mana of any color to do it. Every creature, artifact or enchantment you take this way is a permanent you don't own, so the more you raid your opponents' decks, the sooner a 9/9 wakes up. In multiplayer Commander, with several libraries to pull from, that engine can run all game.

This is the Secret Lair Drop printing, collector number 340, from the 2021 Secret Lair x Stranger Things drop, illustrated by Isis, offered here in foil. The card is printed upside down relative to its card back, a clever nod to the Upside Down. Outside this Universes Beyond printing, the same card goes by its in-universe Magic name, Arvinox, the Mind Flail.
