Description
Sickening Shoal is a distinct black arcane instant released in 2005 as part of the Betrayers of Kamigawa set. Identified as card number 82 in the expansion, this foil variant features artwork by Dan Murayama Scott and appeals to collectors who value the aesthetic of the early 2000s Magic: The Gathering era. The card allows players to exile a black card from their hand to cast the spell without paying its mana cost, targeting a creature to reduce its power and toughness. For those building a collection of the Betrayers of Kamigawa set, this foil rare is a notable addition. The black border and shimmering finish distinguish it from the standard nonfoil versions found in booster packs. Collectors often seek this card number to complete their set of the 2005 release, appreciating both its gameplay utility and its visual appeal. The product identity remains consistent across listings, defined by its set code BOK and its status as a rare foil print. Whether you are assembling a complete run of the expansion or adding to your archive of vintage Magic cards, this foil version represents a tangible piece of the game's history.
