Agoraphobia

Description

Agoraphobia stands as a key blue enchantment in the Magic: The Gathering Duel Decks: Jace vs. Vraska set, released in 2014. This Uncommon card, cataloged as number 22 under the DDM set code, provides players with a strategic method to neutralize threats on the battlefield. As an Aura with a mana cost of {1}{U} and a mana value of 2, it offers efficient interaction for decks focused on blue mana strategies. The card functions as an Enchantment — Aura that targets a creature, imposing a significant -5/-0 modifier to its power and toughness. This effect can turn a formidable opponent into a manageable threat, allowing players to maintain board control without expending excessive resources. The design allows for flexibility, as the card includes an activated ability requiring {2}{U} to return the Aura to its owner's hand. This mechanic enables collectors and players to reuse the effect on different targets or preserve the card in hand during unfavorable phases. For Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts, this card represents a classic example of the blue color identity's emphasis on control and resource management. The flavor text, "Everyone in this city is choosing sides. I choose inside," complements the card's theme of isolation and defensive positioning. Crafted by artist Jim Murray, the card is a staple for those building competitive or casual decks that rely on enchantment-based strategies. The product remains a popular choice for completing set collections and exploring the tactical depth of the Jace vs. Vraska rivalry. Whether you are a seasoned collector or new to the trading card game, Agoraphobia provides a tangible connection to the rich lore and strategic gameplay that define the Magic universe.
