Idol of the Deep King (The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Near Mint Foil

Idol of the Deep King — Quick Burn, Deep Payoff

Idol of the Deep King is a compact red artifact that acts on entry and on demand. With Flash you can hold priority and drop it on an opponent or a blocker to immediately deal two damage to any target. The Near Mint Foil edition shown here captures the cavern heat and architectural decay, a useful addition for decks that want a surprise removal note while staying artifact compatible.

The card doubles as a Craft vehicle for longer term value. Pay the craft cost and exile it with another artifact or an artifact card from your graveyard to transform the Idol into something more threatening. That makes this Idol useful in artifact synergies, graveyard recursion builds and tempo-based red strategies. Experienced players will find it straightforward to convert the one off impact into a recurring threat in the right shell.
