Legion's End

Description

Legion's End, identified as card number 106 in Magic: The Gathering's 2019 Core Set (M20), is a rare Sorcery spell that commands a mana cost of {1}{B} and holds a mana value of 2. As a black card, it provides a potent removal option for players seeking to control the board state against their opponents. The card's design and mechanics reflect the strategic depth characteristic of the Core Set release, making it a staple in black-aligned decks. In gameplay, Legion's End functions as a targeted sweep. When cast, the player chooses a target creature controlled by an opponent that has a mana value of 2 or less. This creature is exiled, and the spell then triggers a chain reaction: all other creatures controlled by that same opponent that share the exact name with the targeted creature are also exiled. This effect allows for the efficient clearing of multiple copies of low-cost threats, making it particularly effective against decks that rely on token armies or multiple copies of cheap creatures. The strategic utility of this card extends beyond the battlefield. After the creatures are removed, the spell forces the affected player to reveal their hand. Any cards in their hand that share the name with the originally targeted creature are then exiled, removing them from the game. Furthermore, the spell reaches into the player's graveyard, exiling all remaining cards with that same name. This comprehensive cleanup ensures that the targeted threat is completely neutralized, preventing it from being rebound, returned from the graveyard, or replayed immediately. Designed by artist David Palumbo, the card embodies the dark aesthetic of the black mana color in Magic: The Gathering. Collectors and players alike appreciate Legion's End for its versatile removal capability and its elegant efficiency in the 2019 Core Set. Whether used in constructed formats or casual play, this card remains a reliable tool for dismantling an opponent's board presence.
