Desertion

Description

For investors and hobbyists, owning a foil Desertion offers a tangible connection to one of Magic's most creative and innovative sets. Its ability to turn an opponent's spell against them provides endless discussion points and strategic possibilities, making it a favorite among both casual players and serious collectors.
