Rift Bolt

Description

The 2017 Magic: The Gathering Iconic Masters Rift Bolt foil card, numbered 143, stands as a distinct entry in the IMA set. Classified as an uncommon Red sorcery, this card features a striking foil treatment that catches the light, appealing to collectors who value visual impact in their TCG holdings. The card’s identity is firmly rooted in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game universe, offering a tangible piece of the franchise's rich history. Rift Bolt operates as a straightforward yet potent Red spell. It deals three damage to any target, a classic effect that has maintained relevance across various formats. The card also features the Suspend mechanic, allowing players to exile it with a time counter rather than casting it directly. By paying one Red mana, the card enters exile, and at the beginning of each upkeep, a counter is removed. Once the final counter is gone, the card may be cast without paying its mana cost, providing a strategic alternative to traditional casting. This dual nature of immediate removal or delayed, cost-free execution adds depth to its gameplay profile. For collectors, the IMA set represents a significant era in Magic: The Gathering history, bringing together iconic cards from the game's past. The Rift Bolt foil card captures this nostalgia while offering a modern, high-quality finish. The artwork by Daniel Ljunggren complements the card’s aggressive Red identity, making it a desirable addition for those focusing on the IMA subset or seeking high-quality foils from the 2017 release. Whether building a themed collection or expanding a library of Red sorceries, this card provides both aesthetic and mechanical value.
