{"product_id":"lhurgoyf","title":"Lhurgoyf (Original Art)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLhurgoyf\u003c\/em\u003e is a four-mana green \u003cem\u003eLhurgoyf\u003c\/em\u003e creature from \u003cem\u003eIce Age\u003c\/em\u003e (1995) – it’s the first card ever printed with this creature type. \u003cem\u003eLhurgoyf’s\u003c\/em\u003e power is equal to the number of creature cards in all graveyards and its toughness is equal to that number plus one. At the time of its printing, this was one of the largest creatures in the game for its mana cost, with a size that naturally scaled as the game progressed. In this era, creature removal was weaker and less efficient, and games naturally filled graveyards due to constant combat – making a 5\/6 or larger \u003cem\u003eLhurgoyf\u003c\/em\u003e an exceptional threat. During early Type-2 (Standard), at the 1997 World Championship, semifinalist Svend Geertsen’s “Green Stompy” aggro deck played with \u003cem\u003eLhurgoyf\u003c\/em\u003e. This was an extremely fast monocolored deck, loaded with an army of green creatures like Fyndhorn Elves, Quirion Ranger, Rogue Elephant, Ghazban Ogre, Spectral Bears, and \u003cem\u003eLhurgoyf\u003c\/em\u003e. Cards such as \u003cem\u003eGiant Growth\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eBounty of the Hunt\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eWinter Orb\u003c\/em\u003e provided the only noncreature power in the deck. Nowadays, it still sees some niche play in Commander \/ EDH, sometimes included in graveyard-themed green decks or nostalgia-driven lists. In cEDH, \u003cem\u003eLhurgoyf\u003c\/em\u003e is occasionally played with commanders like \u003cem\u003eDisa the Restless\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eJarad, Golgari Lich Lord\u003c\/em\u003e. In Premodern, it can be seen in Mono Green Stompy and Elves decks. \u003cem\u003eLhurgoyf\u003c\/em\u003e is not on the Reserved List, it has been reprinted several times (\u003cem\u003eFifth Edition, Eighth Edition, Commander\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"artwhirled","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44762018906157,"sku":null,"price":0.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/8000\/6957\/files\/Lhurgoyf_Original_Art_8th_Edition_front_a_white.jpg?v=1775126837","url":"https:\/\/artwhirled.com\/products\/lhurgoyf","provider":"Art Whirled","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
