What it does
Flying
When Emeria's worshippers learned that she was no more than a twisted memory of Emrakul, they abandoned their temples to the god. The deserted shrines now serve as breeding grounds for the mantas.

Where it came from
Cloud Manta was released in 2015 as part of the Battle for Zendikar expansion for Magic: The Gathering. This set marked a return to the plane of Zendikar, a world defined by its adventurous spirit and perilous, ever-shifting landscape. The card was designed as a common-rarity creature to support the draft environment, specifically showcasing the blue mana color's emphasis on flying creatures and the set's central 'Landfall' mechanic, which rewards players for playing land cards during their turn.
The card features artwork by the illustrator Volkan Baga, who has contributed extensively to the game's visual identity. Baga chose to emphasize the creature's ethereal, cephalopod-like aesthetic as it glides through the sky of Zendikar. The design was received as a straightforward, functional contribution to the set, aimed at providing players with a solid aerial threat in limited play formats while reinforcing the high-fantasy aesthetic of the plane's unique fauna.
