Description
The Contagion Engine is a high-impact artifact card from the Magic: The Gathering 2024 Breaking News set, designated as card number 78. As a mythic rare foil, this card commands attention with its bold finish and significant mana cost of six. The artwork by Magnus Jansson complements the card's mechanical weight, making it a desirable addition to any serious collection. In gameplay, the Contagion Engine serves as a potent threat and utility tool. Upon entering the battlefield, it places -1/-1 counters on all creatures controlled by each opponent, instantly shifting the board state. Players can also activate its ability by paying four mana and tapping the artifact to proliferate twice, allowing for strategic counter placement on permanents and players. This dual functionality makes the card versatile in various deck archetypes. The combination of high rarity and strategic depth ensures that the Contagion Engine remains a staple for enthusiasts of the trading card game. Its presence in the OTP set code further cements its place in the modern Magic: The Gathering landscape.
