Description
Mission Briefing (#44) is a distinct Rare Instant from the 2018 Guilds of Ravnica expansion in Magic: The Gathering. Designed by Matt Stewart, this card utilizes a {U}{U} mana cost to deliver strategic control through its Surveil 2 effect. Upon casting, players examine the top two cards of their library, placing any number into the graveyard while keeping the rest on top. This mechanism allows for efficient card filtering and resource management, key components for competitive gameplay. Following the surveillance step, the card enables the caster to choose an instant or sorcery from their graveyard and cast it for free that turn. If that spell would normally return to the graveyard, it is exiled instead, preventing recursive loops. For collectors, Mission Briefing represents a staple of the blue color identity in the Ravnica block. Its clean artwork and functional design make it a sought-after piece for those building complete Guilds of Ravnica sets. Whether you are a seasoned player or a new collector, adding this card to your Magic: The Gathering collection enhances both your deck's utility and your portfolio's completeness.
