Card Abilities and Interaction:

• Trample: The Mycotyrant has trample, allowing it to deal excess combat damage to the defending player or planeswalker if it has more power than is necessary to assign lethal damage to all blockers.

• Power and Toughness Determined by Tokens: The Mycotyrant's power and toughness are determined by the number of creatures you control that are Fungi and/or Saprolings. This makes it a versatile creature that can scale in size based on the tribal synergy of your deck.

Overall Impression: The Mycotyrant is a dynamic card that rewards players for building a deck with Fungi and Saproling synergies. Its variable power and toughness make it a potential powerhouse, especially in decks focused on token generation or tribal themes. The artwork by Andy Brase complements the card's theme, depicting a visually striking Elder Fungus.
