# Baneslayer Aspirant Baneslayer Aspirant represents an interesting footnote in Magic's design history as part of the Mystery Booster Playtest Cards from 2019. These cards were experimental designs never intended for standard play, making them inherently collectible for players interested in what-if scenarios and design exploration. Collectors typically view playtest cards as curiosities rather than competitive staples. The nonfoil-only printing limits variant options, which some collectors see as either a drawback or a guarantee of consistency. The card's mechanical identity as a white creature with conditional abilities appeals primarily to those documenting Magic's design process rather than players seeking functional cards for their decks.
