# Cystbearer Cystbearer is a straightforward common from Scars of Mirrodin that represents the set's infect mechanic in green. As a 1/1 creature for one green mana that infects, it served as an efficient early threat in limited formats. Collectors generally view it as a functional piece of the infect puzzle rather than a standout card, though it has modest appeal to players who enjoy the mechanic's history. The foil variant exists but carries minimal premium value compared to nonfoil copies. Neither version commands collector attention beyond completionists building full sets or infect-focused decks. Its common status and straightforward design mean most copies are readily available at negligible cost, making it an easy acquisition for anyone pursuing comprehensive Scars of Mirrodin collections.
