Description
The First Eruption (#122) from the 2018 Dominaria set is a pivotal Red Saga enchantment that captures the destructive power of volcanic activity within Magic: The Gathering. Designed by Steven Belledin, this rare foil card introduces a unique progression mechanic where lore counters are added upon entry and after the draw step. As the Saga advances, it first deals damage to grounded creatures, then generates two red mana, and finally demands a Mountain sacrifice to deal massive damage to all creatures on the battlefield. Collectors appreciate this card for its strategic depth and its place in the expansive Dominaria storyline. The foil treatment enhances its visual appeal, making it a desirable addition for those building complete Dominaria collections or seeking powerful Saga cards for their decks. Whether you are a seasoned collector or new to the trading card game, this enchantment offers both narrative significance and gameplay utility. The combination of mana ramp, removal, and high-impact finish makes it a standout piece in the Red color identity. Integrating this card into your collection ensures you have access to one of the set's most dynamic enchantments.
