What Must Be Done

Description

The 2024 Magic: The Gathering Assassin's Creed crossover introduces a unique intersection of fantasy gameplay and historical fiction through the Assassin's Creed set. Card number 157, titled 'What Must Be Done', stands as a rare foil sorcery that challenges players with a binary decision, reflecting the thematic tension inherent in the source material. Designed by Syd Mills, this card is a notable addition for collectors who appreciate the artistic and mechanical blend of these two distinct franchises. As a five-mana white sorcery, 'What Must Be Done' offers significant impact on the battlefield. Players must choose one of two powerful effects: 'Let the World Burn' destroys all artifacts and creatures, providing a board-clearing capability, or 'Release Juno' returns a historic permanent from the graveyard to the battlefield with additional +1/+1 counters if it is a creature. This duality makes it a versatile tool in decks focused on historic synergies or those needing a decisive turn to shift the game's momentum. For collectors, this foil variant adds a layer of visual appeal to the card's already strategic depth. Whether you are building a themed deck or expanding your Magic: The Gathering collection, this card represents a compelling intersection of mechanics and narrative.
