# Skill Borrower Skill Borrower represents a niche design from Shards of Alara that appeals primarily to casual and Commander players rather than competitive collectors. The card's ability to copy activated abilities creates interesting deck-building possibilities in the right shell, but its narrow application limits broader appeal. Collectors view this card as a solid rare from the set without commanding significant premium value. The foil version holds modest appeal over nonfoil copies, typical for mid-tier rares from this era. Most interest comes from players building ability-focused decks rather than investors. It's the kind of card that finds homes in specific strategies but remains accessible to anyone seeking it, making it a straightforward acquisition for set completion or casual play purposes.
