Adverse Conditions

Description

Released in 2015 as card number 54 in the Battle for Zendikar set, Adverse Conditions is an Uncommon Instant that brings distinct mechanical flavor to Magic: The Gathering. Designed by Jason Rainville, this card utilizes the Devoid mechanic, giving it a colorless identity despite its blue mana cost. The card allows players to tap up to two target creatures, preventing them from untapping during the next turn, while simultaneously creating a 1/1 colorless Eldrazi Scion token. This token provides a sacrifice effect that generates generic mana, offering flexible resource generation for strategic plays. Collectors appreciate this card for its clean design and the thematic connection to the Eldrazi threat that defines the Zendikar block. The straightforward rules text and impactful board state manipulation make it a memorable piece for enthusiasts of the format. Whether building a thematic deck or expanding a personal collection, this release from the Battle for Zendikar series represents a solid addition for fans of the game's strategic depth.
