Xenagos's Scorn

Description

The 0-mana Sorcery Xenagos's Scorn from the 2014 Defeat a God set offers Magic: The Gathering players a unique mechanical interaction with the Ascended state. Designed by Lucas Graciano, this common card carries the TDAG set code and card number 12, providing a distinct strategic option for decks built around the god theme. Unlike traditional spells that rely on mana expenditure, this card utilizes a conditional trigger that activates when a specific permanent enters the battlefield in an Ascended form. When a creature with the Ascended trait enters, this spell grants that permanent trample until the end of the turn. Furthermore, it forces the Ascended creature to attack if able, even if it has already attacked. This creates a powerful burst of damage potential in a single turn, making it a compelling inclusion for players who build around these specific god-like entities. The card’s design reflects the aggressive nature of the Defeat a God expansion, which focused on high-impact interactions involving divine entities. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading cards often seek out cards from this era due to their distinct art style and gameplay mechanics. Xenagos's Scorn stands out for its efficiency and the way it interacts with the Ascended mechanic. Whether you are building a competitive deck or simply expanding your library, this card from the Defeat a God series adds a layer of strategic depth to your collection. Its low mana cost and immediate impact make it a memorable piece of the game's history, appealing to both veteran players and new collectors exploring the complexities of the Trading Card Game.
