Cast Out

Description

Cast Out is an Uncommon Enchantment card from the 2017 Amonkhet expansion of Magic: The Gathering, designated as card number 8 in the set. This single-color white card carries a mana cost of three generic mana and one white mana, resulting in a mana value of four. Designed by Magali Villeneuve, the card offers players a flexible interaction tool that combines immediate impact with long-term board control. The card’s primary ability allows it to be cast for its flash cost, enabling players to respond to opponent actions during their turns. When Cast Out enters the battlefield, it exiles a target nonland permanent controlled by an opponent until Cast Out leaves the battlefield. This temporary removal effect provides a strategic advantage by neutralizing threats without permanently destroying the opponent’s resources, preserving the option to reclaim the exiled card later. Additionally, Cast Out includes the Cycling ability for one white mana. This allows players to discard the card from their hand to draw a new card, offering a valuable card advantage engine. This dual functionality makes the card a versatile inclusion for decks seeking efficient interaction and card flow. The Amonkhet set, identified by the set code AKH, is a well-regarded expansion in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, and Cast Out represents a key piece of its mechanical identity. Collectors and players alike appreciate Cast Out for its clean design and practical gameplay mechanics. Whether used in competitive decks or casual play, this card from the Amonkhet set continues to be a staple for those who value flexible removal and card selection. The enduring appeal of Magic: The Gathering lies in such well-crafted cards that balance simplicity with strategic depth.
