Will-o'-the-Wisp

Description

The 1994 Foreign Black Border set established a foundational identity for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, and card number 137 stands as a definitive entry within that framework. This release features Will-o'-the-Wisp, a Creature — Spirit with a mana cost of {B} and a mana value of 1. As a Rare card, it occupies a distinct position in the set's hierarchy, distinguishing it from common or uncommon variants. The card's gameplay mechanics are defined by two key abilities. It possesses Flying, which restricts blocking to creatures with Flying or Reach. Additionally, it offers a {B} activated ability to Regenerate, allowing the creature to survive destruction by tapping, removing itself from combat, and healing damage. These mechanics make it a functional piece for collectors analyzing early design philosophy. Jesper Myrfors provided the artistic vision for this edition, contributing to the aesthetic that defines the Foreign Black Border series. Collectors seeking to build a comprehensive set of Magic: The Gathering cards often target this card number and language combination to complete their Foreign Black Border checklist. This French-language print of the 1994 Foreign Black Border set card is numbered 137.
