Random card #6: Wall of Caltrops

This card had been printed in Legends, an old extension of Magic, one of the first Magic expansion. This expansion featured for the first time legendary permanents and gold cards. While famous for that Legends had also a "wall" thema. To support that, Legends features many instants that help wall, and many wall creatures.

It's a wall of caltrops, so it's not a big creature, just a 2/1 creature. If you block with other creatures, and at the conditions that all bloking creature are walls, it gains banding until end of turn. That is really impressive ! One of the rare creature with band with other wall. At least, you can manage to kill a creature and keep you wall on the battlefield, nice !

It was already useless back when it was printed, and not more useful nowadays.

About the art, we can say that it was hard to paint a wall like this. It's more a carpet that a wall. Anyway, we can tell that Brian Snoddy made his best.

The flavor text is fun, it's the soldier who is screaming about his pain. Ow !
