Pact Weapon

Description

The Pact Weapon foil mythic rare (139s) from the 2022 Battle for Baldur's Gate Promos set is a distinctive artifact equipment card for Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts. Designed by Volkan Baǵa, this card features a bold foil treatment that enhances its visual appeal within the PCLB subset. As a high-rarity mythic rare, it holds a prominent place for collectors focusing on complete sets or specific promotional variants from this crossover era. In gameplay, Pact Weapon serves as a powerful artifact equipment with a mana cost of three black mana and one generic mana. Its primary effect provides a crucial safety net: as long as it is attached to a creature, the player does not lose the game for having 0 or less life. This defensive capability makes it a strategic asset in aggressive or high-risk decks. Additionally, when the equipped creature attacks, it triggers a draw effect. The player draws a card and reveals it, granting the creature +X/+X power and toughness until end of turn, where X is the card's mana value. However, this offensive boost comes with a trade-off, as the player loses X life, adding a layer of calculated risk to its use. Collecting this card involves acquiring a version with the foil finish, which distinguishes it from non-foil prints. The card number 139s identifies it within the promotional structure of the Battle for Baldur's Gate Promos set. For investors and hobbyists, the combination of the mythic rare status, the foil treatment, and the connection to the popular Dungeons & Dragons crossover makes this a sought-after item. The equipment keyword allows it to be attached to creatures, expanding its utility across various board states.
