Description
Simulacrum, designated as card number 161 in Magic: The Gathering's 1995 Fourth Edition, remains a notable piece of early trading card history. Released under set code 4ED, this black Instant card is classified as Uncommon rarity, reflecting its balanced power level within the original block design. The card features a mana cost of one generic mana and one black mana, making it accessible during the early game phases for strategic life gain or creature removal. The card’s mechanics allow players to gain life equal to damage dealt to them that turn, while also dealing that same amount of damage to a target creature they control. This dual utility made it a versatile tool in competitive play during the mid-90s. For investors and completists, owning a clean example of Simulacrum from Fourth Edition adds depth to any vintage collection. Whether you are building a vintage sleeve collection or focusing on specific set builders, this card represents a tangible connection to the game's golden era.
