Choose from 2 versions of this card in the list — each is listed by its finish and style. Our grade: Near Mint, for every version. Pictured: these printings of the card. The image is a stock photo of this printing — use the Request Additional Pictures button and we'll photograph the card itself. Every card ships triple-sleeved — a soft sleeve, a deck sleeve and a rigid top loader.

Item Description

Walking Ballista is a card that is never dead in your hand. It costs {X}{X} and enters with X +1/+1 counters, so it is a 1/1 for two mana early, a bigger body later, and a mana sink at any point: pay {4} to add another counter. The payoff is the last ability. Remove a +1/+1 counter and it deals 1 damage to any target, which picks off tokens and small creatures, finishes damaged planeswalkers, or points straight at a player's face.

Counters strategies make it ridiculous. Doubling effects mean every counter becomes two, proliferate tops it back up, and in Commander it doubles as an outlet for big mana that converts spare mana into damage. It slots into almost any deck because it is colorless, which is a big part of why it shows up in so many lists.

Two Secret Lair Drop versions are offered here. The Kaladesh Invention version is collector number 1265, a showcase halo foil with art by Warren Mahy from the Showcase: March of the Machine Vol. 1 drop. The foil version is collector number 58, with art by Bad Flip Productions, Inc., from the Can You Feel with a Heart of Steel? drop.
