Description
City of Traitors serves as a unique mana source within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, specifically from the 1998 Exodus expansion. As card number 143 in the set, this Rare land card offers a distinct mechanical identity for collectors and players alike. The card allows you to add two colorless mana to your pool, but it comes with a strategic cost: sacrificing the land whenever you play another land. This mechanic reflects the chaotic nature of the Exodus block's storyline, where the Oracle en-Vec surrenders during conflict, mirroring the card's flavor text. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering often seek out Exodus set pieces for their historical significance in the game's early era. City of Traitors is notable for its interaction with other land cards, making it a subject of interest for those who appreciate complex board states. Whether you are building a themed collection or simply appreciate the strategic depth of early Magic designs, this card represents a key piece of the Exodus era's legacy.
