Declare Dominance

Description

Declare Dominance is an uncommon sorcery card from the Magic: The Gathering Core Set 2019, identified by card number 175 in the M19 set released in 2018. Illustrated by Simon Dominic, this single-card release carries a mana cost of {3}{G}{G} and functions as a powerful green spell with a mana value of five. The card’s design places it firmly within the standard sorcery type line, offering players a strategic tool that alters combat dynamics through specific rules interactions. The gameplay effect of Declare Dominance targets a creature to grant it +3/+3 until the end of the turn. This power boost is paired with a unique restriction: all creatures able to block the enchanted creature must do so during that combat phase. This mechanic forces opponents to commit their defensive resources to a single threat, potentially clearing the path for other attackers or securing lethal damage. The flavor text, attributed to Gar-Tun, a Mistvalley silverback, reads, "If you think yourself a chief, then prove your might." Its distinct ability to manipulate blocking rules makes it a notable inclusion for builders focusing on combat tricks and aggressive strategies. The card’s green color identity ensures it integrates smoothly into decks that utilize green mana sources. This card is card number 175 in the Core Set 2019 checklist. The card’s rarity as an uncommon makes it accessible for casual play while maintaining enough mechanical intrigue to interest competitive players. Its straightforward text box and impactful effect exemplify the design philosophy of Core Set 2019, which aimed to reintroduce fundamental mechanics to a broad audience. Whether used for fun or serious gameplay, this card offers a reliable way to dominate the battlefield.
