Sigil of the Empty Throne

Description

Sigil of the Empty Throne, designated as card number 74 in the Commander 2018 expansion, is a rare white enchantment released by Wizards of the Coast in 2018. The card features a mana cost of {3}{W}{W} and possesses a mana value of 5. It was illustrated by Cyril Van Der Haegen, whose artwork accompanies the card's rules text and flavor narrative. The card functions as a powerful engine within the Magic: The Gathering format. Whenever a player casts an enchantment spell, this card triggers to create a 4/4 white Angel creature token with the flying ability. This mechanic allows players to generate significant board presence by leveraging other enchantment spells in their deck. The flavor text references Asha leaving Bant, ensuring the world would have protection and order in her absence, tying the card's mechanical output to the lore of the plane. As part of the Commander 2018 set, coded C18, this card is designed for the singleton format where players build 100-card decks centered around legendary commanders. The card's ability to produce flying Angels makes it a valuable inclusion for mono-white strategies that focus on enchantment synergy. The 2018 Commander 2018 release includes Sigil of the Empty Throne, a white Enchantment with a mana cost of {3}{W}{W}. The visual design of the card includes the standard Magic: The Gathering layout for a rare card from this period. The card number and set code help collectors identify this print run within the broader Commander product line. For those interested in the history of the Commander format or the specific mechanics introduced in 2018, this card serves as a concrete example of the design philosophy of that year.
