Infest

Description

Infest is a black sorcery printed in the Commander 2013 expansion, carrying the set code C13 and card number 81. Released in 2013, this Uncommon card requires a mana cost of {1}{B}{B} to cast, resulting in a mana value of 3. As a single-black spell, it fits into decks built around the black color identity, offering a straightforward removal option that affects the entire battlefield rather than targeting individual permanents. The card’s effect reduces the power and toughness of all creatures by two until the end of the turn. This broad impact makes it a versatile tool in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, capable of clearing small boards or weakening larger threats temporarily. The design of the card includes flavor text from Rannon, a Vithian holdout, which references banewasp weather, adding a layer of narrative context to the spell’s destructive nature. Art by Karl Kopinski, Infest is a staple for players seeking efficient board control in casual and Commander formats. Its low mana cost and universal effect make it a reliable choice for swarming strategies or defensive plays. The card is numbered 81 in the Commander 2013 set and carries an Uncommon rarity designation. As a Sorcery with a mana cost of {1}{B}{B}, the card reduces all creatures by -2/-2 until end of turn.
