# Greven il-Vec Greven il-Vec represents an interesting footnote in Magic's experimental history as part of the Vanguard Series, a supplemental product that introduced oversized avatar cards for casual play. Rather than a traditional card, Greven functions as a player character with unique abilities that modify gameplay rules. Collectors view Vanguard cards as curiosities from Magic's early exploration of alternative formats. While not tournament-legal, they hold appeal for players interested in the game's design evolution and casual formats. The nonfoil-only printing limits variant options, making condition and availability the primary collecting considerations. These cards occupy a niche space—neither standard collectibles nor particularly scarce, but genuinely uncommon in the secondary market.
