About this card
Mana cost: {4}{G}{G}
Type: Creature — Ape
{G}: Regenerate this creature. (The next time this creature would be destroyed this turn, instead tap it, remove it from combat, and heal all damage on it.)
"The Phyrexian killing machines couldn't have known the seriousness of their mistake in wounding the ape—they'd never seen it angry."

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Ancient Silverback is real?
Ancient Silverback is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the print quality and cardstock (real cards have a distinctive blue inner core visible from the edge), the rosette pattern on the back, the security stamp on planeswalker / mythic cards from recent sets, and confirm the collector number and set code match the official Scryfall record. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
