# Champion of the Parish Champion of the Parish represents a pivotal moment in Magic's design history as one of the first efficient human-focused creatures. Collectors value this card for its role in establishing the Human tribal archetype across multiple formats. The List printing makes it accessible to players seeking the card without hunting original Innistrad copies, though it carries less prestige among serious collectors. The nonfoil-only variant limits appeal for those specifically seeking premium versions. Most collectors appreciate this card functionally rather than as a chase piece, viewing it as a staple that defined an entire creature type's competitive viability. Its steady demand reflects genuine playability rather than speculative interest.
