Flight

Description

The 1997 Fifth Edition release of Magic: The Gathering remains a cornerstone for collectors who appreciate the foundational era of the trading card game. Within this set, the Flight card (number 86) serves as a fundamental white mana resource, designed to enhance the mobility of a creature on the battlefield. As a common enchantment, it provides a straightforward yet powerful effect: granting the flying ability to the enchanted creature, allowing it to bypass blockers that lack the same capability. Designed by Jerry Tiritilli, this card represents the aesthetic and mechanical standards of late 1990s Magic design. Collectors often seek out cards from this era to complete their comprehensive sets or to acquire staples that have seen continuous play across various formats.

The card’s utility in gameplay, combined with its historical significance, makes it a desirable item for enthusiasts of the genre. Whether you are a long-time player looking to round out your Fifth Edition collection or a new collector interested in the game's evolution, this card provides a direct link to the mechanics that drive competitive and casual play alike.
