Product Overview

Description

Mana Short, identified as card number 85 in the Fourth Edition Foreign Black Border set, is a rare Instant released in 1995. This Spanish-language version of the Magic: The Gathering card features a mana cost of {2}{U} and a mana value of 3. The card’s effect allows a player to tap all lands controlled by a target opponent and causes that player to lose all unspent mana. Designed by Dameon Willich, this card belongs to the blue color identity and serves as a foundational disruption tool within the game’s early mechanics. The presence of the "Rare" rarity symbol indicates its relative scarcity within the base checklist compared to common or uncommon cards. The card’s straightforward yet powerful effect has made it a staple in various formats, though its value is primarily driven by its condition and rarity. The card’s design and gameplay mechanics remain relevant to modern players who appreciate the strategic depth of early Magic expansions.
