Temple of Malady

Description

The Temple of Malady foil promo card (254s) is a distinct addition to the Magic: The Gathering Core Set 2020 Promos series. Released in 2019, this card is classified as a Rare foil variant, designated by the set code PM20. This land card produces {B} or {G} mana. The card features artwork by Titus Lunter, adding visual interest to its functional design. In gameplay, Temple of Malady enters the battlefield tapped, requiring careful timing for its activation. Upon entering, it allows the player to scry 1, enabling them to look at the top card of their library and optionally place it on the bottom. This mechanic provides slight card filtering, helping players manage their draws. When tapped for mana, the card produces either one black mana {B} or one green mana {G}, offering flexibility in multicolor strategies. Its zero mana value makes it a reliable early-game resource. Collectors often target promo cards like this Temple of Malady for their unique foil finish and specific card number within the set. The 254s designation places it in the promotional subset, distinguishing it from the base checklist. For those building collections of Core Set 2020 releases, this foil variant offers a tangible piece of the era's design. The combination of its rarity, specific mana identity, and promo status makes it a recognizable item for Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts.
