Description
Aerial Assault holds the distinction of card number 1 in the Magic: The Gathering Core Set 2019, also known as M20. Released in July 2019, this Common Sorcery serves as the opening card for the set, establishing the white mana identity that defines the Core Set experience. For many collectors, acquiring the first card of a major expansion is a satisfying milestone in building a complete set. As a white one-mana Sorcery, Aerial Assault provides a versatile removal option for players who value life gain alongside board control. Its ability to destroy a tapped creature and gain life for each creature with flying makes it a unique tactical choice in casual and constructed formats. The card is illustrated by Dan Murayama Scott, adding visual appeal to this foundational piece of the 2019 Core Set. Collectors often seek out this card not just for its gameplay utility, but for its position as the inaugural entry in the M20 sequence. Whether you are completing a set, trading with fellow enthusiasts, or exploring the history of Magic: The Gathering, Aerial Assault represents a key component of the brand's enduring legacy.
