Useful for casual 'Limited' or 'Cube' formats; popular 'Cat' creature type for tribal decks; iconic M21 set symbol.

Correct M21 set symbol, copyright date 2020, and distinct dot pattern in the card art frame. High confidence in authenticity given the low value (rarely counterfeited).

Selling Tips
Do not sell this item individually as shipping costs will exceed the value. It is best to 'bulk' this card with hundreds of others or include it as part of a complete Core Set 2021 collection or a White-themed deck package.
