What it does
Whenever a land enters, Zo-Zu deals 2 damage to that land's controller.
His cleverness is well regarded among the akki, but most of his jokes are just variations on "Leaving Zo-Zu'n?" and then he shoots fire at you.

Where it came from
Zo-Zu the Punisher was originally introduced in the 2004 Magic: The Gathering expansion set Champions of Kamigawa. Designed as a red creature that penalizes players for playing lands, it quickly became a staple in aggressive burn decks and group-slug archetypes. The character is depicted as a mischievous, destructive spirit within the folklore-inspired setting of Kamigawa, reflecting the set's focus on spirits and legendary figures.
This specific version of the card was released as part of the Secret Lair Countdown Kit, a curated collection offered by Wizards of the Coast. Featuring distinctive artwork by Mattias Lindström, the illustration reimagines the character with a darker, more stylized aesthetic consistent with the Secret Lair line's goal of providing unique artistic interpretations of classic cards. The release was well-received by collectors who prioritize thematic cohesion and alternative art styles for their legendary creatures.
