Released in 1993, the Green Ward card from Magic: The Gathering's Collectors' Edition holds a distinct place in the history of the trading card game. Identified as card number 21 in the CED set, this uncommon enchantment is an Aura type that offers specific protection to the creatures it enchants. As an Aura enchantment with a mana cost of one white mana, Green Ward provides a strategic layer to gameplay by granting the enchanted creature protection from green. This protection prevents damage, removal, and targeting by green sources, making it a functional tool in early game strategies. The card’s rules text ensures that this protective effect does not cause the Aura itself to be removed, allowing it to remain on the battlefield as long as the creature it enchants survives. This mechanical stability is a hallmark of the early design philosophy found in the Collectors' Edition. The card’s uncommon rarity and specific role as a green-protection enchantment make it a valuable piece for those building comprehensive sets of early Magic: The Gathering expansions. Whether for nostalgic reasons or to complete a collection of foundational TCG cards, this product represents a key component of the game's legacy. Enthusiasts of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game continue to value the Collectors' Edition for its unique design elements and its role in shaping the competitive and casual landscapes of the hobby.
