Description
Released in 1994 as part of the Fallen Empires expansion, Initiates of the Ebon Hand (card number 39c) is a staple of early Magic: The Gathering history. This Common card from the black mana color identity is illustrated by Kaja Foglio and depicts a Creature — Cleric with a mana value of one and power/toughness of 1/1. The card’s ability allows players to add one black mana to their pool, though activating it four or more times in a single turn requires sacrificing the creature at the end of that turn. Collectors value this piece for its historical significance within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game and its role in the Sarpadian Empires lore. The flavor text references the Order's rigorous membership requirements, adding depth to the card's narrative context. For enthusiasts building collections of vintage TCG cards, this card represents a key component of the Fallen Empires set. Its straightforward design and functional gameplay make it a recognizable item for both new and seasoned players.
