What it does

1 generic mana: Target creature with power 5 or greater gains trample until end of turn.

Whether gargantuans are the manifested will of Progenitus or simply the result of overabundant resources is moot when a herd of them is thundering at you.

Provenance

Where it came from

Mosstodon was released in 2008 as part of the Shards of Alara set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This set introduced the concept of the Alara shards, which are five distinct planes of existence, each characterized by a specific color identity. Mosstodon, a green-aligned creature, reflects the nature-focused and primal aesthetic of the Jund shard, a landscape dominated by volcanic activity and untamed wildlife.

The card illustration was provided by Paolo Parente, a renowned artist known for his detailed, kinetic style and work on major gaming franchises. Parente’s design for the Mosstodon emphasizes its role as a massive, armored beast suited to the brutal, survival-driven ecosystem of the Jund shard. As a common rarity card, it was designed to serve as a reliable, mid-tier presence in limited formats, providing players with a sturdy defensive body that embodies the resilient, prehistoric theme of its plane.
