The Mycotyrant (Showcase) (The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Light Play

Mushroom Monarchy in Play

The Mycotyrant arrives as a compact engine piece that rewards board development and descent into the caverns. With a casting cost of {1}{B}{B} this Legendary Creature Elder Fungus comes with trample and a mutable size that scales directly with the number of Fungi and Saprolings you control. In practice the Mycotyrant turns token strategies into a threat that can push damage through while growing naturally as you populate the battlefield.

Its end step ability converts repeated descents into an expanding fungal swarm by creating 1/1 black Fungus tokens that cannot block. That makes the Mycotyrant useful both as a clock and as a token producer to fuel sacrifice synergies or blink loops. For players who lean into The Lost Caverns theme this card fits cleanly into tribal shells or green black midrange lists that want a resilient, board dependent finisher.
