Product Overview

Description

Beseech the Queen is a powerful sorcery from the 2016 Magic: The Gathering expansion From the Vault: Lore. As the first card in the V16 set, this mythic rare carries significant weight among collectors who appreciate premium promotional releases. The card features a distinctive foil finish that enhances its visual appeal and distinguishes it from standard print runs, making it a standout piece for any TCG collection. Designed by artist Jason Chan, this card represents a unique entry in the From the Vault series, which was created to offer players access to powerful cards not typically found in regular booster packs. The mana cost of {2/B}{2/B}{2/B} allows for flexible payment, requiring either two black mana or a single black mana, while maintaining a mana value of 6. This flexibility is central to the card's design, allowing it to fit into various deck strategies that prioritize black mana acceleration. The card's effect allows players to search their library for a card with a mana value less than or equal to the number of lands they control, reveal it, and add it to their hand before shuffling. This ability provides substantial card advantage, enabling players to find key pieces of their strategy quickly. The flavor text hints at the card's thematic depth, describing the madness that strikes those who hear her call. For collectors, Beseech the Queen is more than just a functional game piece; it is a tangible connection to a specific era of Magic: The Gathering. Whether you are completing a set of From the Vault cards or looking to add a powerful sorcery to your collection, this card offers both aesthetic and gameplay value. Its status as a mythic rare ensures it remains a desirable item for enthusiasts of the trading card game.
