Ambition's Cost

Description

Ambition's Cost is a black sorcery from the 2018 Arena New Player Experience Extras set, identified by card number 25 and the set code XANA. Designed for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, this uncommon card presents a classic risk-versus-reward mechanic that appeals to players who enjoy aggressive, fast-paced strategies. The card costs three generic mana and one black mana to cast, resulting in a total mana value of four. When played, it allows the caster to draw three cards from their library but simultaneously causes them to lose three life points. This dynamic makes it a staple for decks that need to quickly replenish their hand while managing life total carefully. Illustrated by Zezhou Chen, the card fits seamlessly into the black mana theme of the set. Collectors and players alike value this card for its utility in both casual and constructed formats, offering a straightforward yet impactful effect. Whether you are building a new deck or expanding your collection of Arena exclusives, Ambition's Cost represents a key component of the black sorcery arsenal. The 2018 release remains a notable part of Magic history, providing fans with accessible tools to explore the game's deeper mechanics.
