Kari Zev's Expertise

Description

Kari Zev's Expertise is a distinct sorcery card from the 2017 Magic: The Gathering Aether Revolt expansion, identified by the set code AER and card number 88. Printed with a foil finish, this rare card features artwork by Jason Rainville and carries a mana cost of {1}{R}{R}. As a single-red spell with a mana value of 3, it stands out in the collector's market for its unique gameplay mechanics that blend creature control with resource acceleration. The card's rules text provides two primary modes of effect. First, it allows the player to gain control of a target creature or Vehicle until the end of the turn. The controlled unit is untapped and granted haste, enabling immediate impact on the battlefield. Second, the card permits the casting of another spell with a mana value of 2 or less from the hand without paying its mana cost. This dual utility makes the card a flexible tool, appealing to collectors who appreciate strategic depth in vintage set designs. Flavor text accompanying the card reads, "I was made for this!", hinting at the character's readiness for action within the Aether Revolt narrative. For Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts, owning a foil version of this rare card adds a layer of visual appeal and prestige to any Aether Revolt collection. The combination of the foil treatment, the specific card number 88, and the versatile sorcery effects creates a sought-after item for hobbyists looking to complete their set or add a powerful piece to their library. Whether for display or potential gameplay utility, this card represents a key component of the 2017 Aether Revolt release.
