Arcbond

Description

Arcbond, designated as card number 91s in the Fate Reforged Promos series, stands out in Magic: The Gathering for its aggressive red mana identity. Released in 2015, this foil version captures the attention of players and collectors who appreciate efficient damage output. As an Instant spell, it requires only two generic mana and one red mana to cast, making it a flexible tool in any red-heavy strategy. The card’s ability targets a single creature, then creates a chain reaction: any damage dealt to that target this turn is simultaneously dealt to every other creature and player on the battlefield. This mechanic allows for dramatic board wipes or precise elimination of key opponents, embodying the high-risk, high-reward nature of red spells. The artwork by Slawomir Maniak complements the card’s theme, though the foil finish adds a premium tactile quality that enhances its display value. For collectors, the Fate Reforged Promos set represents a specific era of Magic design, and this foil variant serves as a notable entry point. Whether you are building a themed collection or seeking cards with impactful gameplay, Arcbond offers both historical significance and functional depth. Its rarity as a rare foil promo makes it a desirable addition for those who value both aesthetic appeal and mechanical utility in their Magic: The Gathering holdings.
