# Essence of the Wild Essence of the Wild represents an interesting design space in green creature strategies. Collectors appreciate this mythic for its unique ability to turn any creature into a potential threat by granting it a copy of itself's power and toughness. The card appeals to players building around creature-heavy decks, particularly those exploring unconventional synergies. As a mythic from Innistrad, it carries the set's gothic aesthetic while offering mechanical depth. Collectors typically view it as a solid green mythic rather than a format staple, making it accessible without being ubiquitous. Both foil and nonfoil versions exist, with foil copies commanding modest premiums among those seeking complete set collections or themed deck builds.
