Description
Fishliver Oil, identified as card number 13 in the Arabian Nights expansion, represents a foundational piece of Magic: The Gathering history. As a Common rarity card, it serves as an essential component for enthusiasts building complete Arabian Nights collections. The card functions as an Enchantment — Aura with a mana cost of {1}{U}. Its primary effect allows the caster to attach it to a creature, granting that creature the islandwalk ability. This mechanic provides a strategic advantage by preventing the enchanted creature from being blocked as long as the defending player controls an Island. Collectors often seek this card for its historical significance within the game's first set. Art by Anson Maddocks brings the card's theme to life, making it a notable item for vintage TCG enthusiasts. Fishliver Oil remains a popular choice for investors and hobbyists looking to add a piece of Magic history to their inventory. Its status as a first-edition era card adds to its enduring appeal among serious collectors.
