Description
The Serpent Generator stands as a distinctive artifact within the 1995 Magic: The Gathering Chronicles Foreign Black Border release. Identified as card number 108, this rare card costs six mana to play and offers a unique strategic interaction for players. Instead of dealing direct damage, its activated ability creates a 1/1 colorless Snake artifact creature token. This token introduces a secondary win condition tied to the poison mechanic, where damage dealt to a player grants them a poison counter, potentially leading to a loss if they accumulate ten. For collectors, this card represents a key piece of early Magic history, showcasing the innovative card design typical of mid-90s expansions. Mark Tedin’s contribution to the set adds to its appeal among fans of the era's artwork., collectors can explore diverse selections of vintage Magic cards, ensuring they can find the specific pieces needed to complete their collections or add to their library. Whether you are building a theme deck around artifact creatures or simply appreciate the nostalgia of the original block, this card remains a significant entry in the game's catalog.
