Product Overview

Description

Smother is a rare foil card from the Friday Night Magic 2003 set, designated as card number 8 with the set code F03. Released in 2003, this Magic: The Gathering trading card game card functions as a black Instant with a mana cost of {1}{B} and a mana value of 2. The card features art by Carl Critchlow and includes flavor text attributed to Phage the Untouchable. The card's rules text allows a player to destroy a target creature with a mana value of 3 or less, preventing that creature from being regenerated. This effect makes it a targeted removal option within the game's mechanics. As a foil variant, the card holds a distinct finish that differs from non-foil versions, appealing to collectors who focus on treatment variations within the Friday Night Magic 2003 checklist. The rarity symbol indicates its scarcity within the set's distribution. Collectors building comprehensive sets of this release often look for the foil version to complete the full spectrum of available treatments for this card number.
