Larceny

Description

The 2003 Eighth Edition release of Larceny stands as a significant piece for Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts seeking to complete their collection. Identified by the set code 8ED and card number 139, this Rare enchantment was published in 2003 and features art by Dave Dorman. As a Black mana card with a mana value of 5, it requires three generic mana and two black mana to cast. The card’s effect creates a persistent threat: whenever a creature you control deals combat damage to a player, that player must discard a card. This mechanic rewards aggressive playstyles and puts pressure on opponents to manage their hand resources carefully. Collectors often seek out this card to round out their Eighth Edition sets, appreciating its consistent design language and functional gameplay. The inclusion of a Roman proverb flavor text adds a thematic layer to the card's identity. For investors and hobbyists alike, owning a copy of Larceny from this foundational set represents a connection to a pivotal era in the game's history. Whether you are a seasoned veteran or just starting your journey with Magic: The Gathering, adding Larceny to your collection is a smart move for any serious player.
