# Thragtusk (Archenemy: Nicol Bolas) Thragtusk is a workhorse creature that defined midrange strategies across multiple formats. Collectors recognize it as a pillar of green's identity during its original Standard run, valued for its resilience and the life gain attached to its inevitable death. This Archenemy printing exists as a supplemental release variant, making it less common than the original Return to Ravnica version that saw competitive play. The card matters to collectors building format-specific decks or pursuing complete set collections rather than those chasing investment potential. Most players and collectors already own copies from earlier printings, so this variant appeals primarily to completionists or those preferring the Archenemy aesthetic. It's a solid utility card that remains mechanically relevant in Commander, though its scarcity doesn't significantly impact its collector appeal compared to more limited promotional versions.
