Hinder

Description

Hinder is an uncommon instant card identified by the number 54 in Magic: The Gathering's Double Masters expansion, released in 2020 under the set code 2XM. The card requires three mana to cast, specifically one generic and two blue mana, placing it at a mana value of three. Its primary effect allows the caster to counter a target spell; if that spell is countered by Hinder, the card is placed on top or at the bottom of its owner's library rather than being discarded. This nuanced interaction adds depth to gameplay by manipulating library order rather than just removing threats. The artwork for this release was created by Wayne Reynolds, contributing to the distinctive visual identity of the Double Masters set. Collectors often seek out foil versions of uncommon cards for their aesthetic finish and durability. For those building decks focused on blue mana strategies, understanding cards like Hinder is essential for mastering the game's intricate rules.
