Description
Bane of Bala Ged serves as the first card in the Battle for Zendikar expansion, released in 2015 for Magic: The Gathering. As card number one, it holds a unique place in the set's numerical order, appealing to collectors who value sequential completeness and set-building traditions. The card features a foil finish, adding a distinct visual sheen that distinguishes it within the uncommon rarity tier of the BFZ release. Designed by artist Chase Stone, this seven-mana Eldrazi creature is defined by its formidable power and toughness. The card's primary ability triggers whenever it attacks, forcing the defending player to exile two permanents they control. This mechanic reflects the overwhelming and destructive nature of the Eldrazi type, representing massive entities that disrupt the battlefield through sheer force rather than complex strategies. Bane of Bala Ged stands out as a high-impact threat that demands immediate attention from opponents. Its foil treatment enhances its collectibility, making it a desirable addition for those who appreciate the aesthetic and mechanical depth of Magic's 2015 releases. Whether for completing a set or adding a powerful creature to a collection, this card remains a significant entry in the Magic: The Gathering catalog.
