Description
Released in 1997 as part of the Fifth Edition expansion, Dust to Dust (card number 29) is a staple white sorcery in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Designed by Doug Keith, this uncommon card costs three mana, requiring one generic mana and two white mana to cast. Its effect allows a player to exile two target artifacts from the battlefield, providing a potent interaction against artifact-heavy strategies. The card’s flavor text, attributed to Aline Corralurn from "Inheritance," adds narrative depth: "All this nonsense made by mages / Rusts and crumbles through the ages." This thematic element resonates with fans of the game's lore, emphasizing the transient nature of magical creations. For collectors, Dust to Dust represents a key piece of the Fifth Edition set, which remains a foundational release for many Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts. Its straightforward gameplay and iconic status make it a sought-after addition for those building comprehensive collections or seeking to complete the set. Whether you are a seasoned player or a new collector, this card offers both strategic utility and nostalgic value, embodying the classic design and mechanics of late 1990s Magic.
