Torment of Scarabs

Description

Released in 2017 as part of the Hour of Devastation expansion, this Magic: The Gathering trading card features the Enchantment — Aura Curse known as Torment of Scarabs. Identified by card number 78 and set code HOU, this Uncommon card carries the foil finish that collectors actively seek for its shimmering surface and enhanced visual appeal. The card functions as a single-black mana-costed enchantment that imposes a significant upkeep tax on the enchanted player, requiring them to lose 3 life unless they sacrifice a nonland permanent or discard a card. For enthusiasts building complete sets, the foil variant of this card number offers a distinct aesthetic upgrade over the non-foil base version. Designed by Bastien L. Deharme, the card represents a key mechanical piece within the Hour of Devastation block, appealing to those who appreciate the strategic depth of curses in the game. Whether you are expanding your collection of rare Magic items or looking to complete your Hour of Devastation checklist, this foil edition provides a tangible connection to the game's rich lore and competitive history. The product identity remains consistent across all listings, ensuring that collectors know exactly what they are acquiring: a genuine, numbered foil card from this 2017 release.
