Description
Released in 1999 as part of the Classic Sixth Edition (6ED), the Tariff card (number 47) remains a notable entry for Magic: The Gathering collectors. This white sorcery, illustrated by Kev Walker, carries a mana cost of {1}{W} and a mana value of 2, making it a functional piece within the game's early history. The card's effect forces players to sacrifice their creature with the highest mana value unless they pay that specific cost, creating high-stakes interactions typical of the era. For collectors, the 6ED set is significant for standardizing card frames and text boxes, establishing the visual identity that defined the game for years. Tariff’s rarity designation makes it a sought-after piece for those completing the full run. Understanding the mechanical impact and historical context of 6ED helps collectors appreciate the card's place in TCG evolution. Whether you are building a vintage collection or studying early game design, this card offers a direct link to the late 90s gaming landscape.
