Description
Released in 2017, the Magic: The Gathering Iconic Masters set reimagines classic cards with a distinctive black border and updated artwork. Among these reprints, the Serra Ascendant foil card (card number 31) stands out as a compelling addition for collectors and players alike.

The foil finish adds a layer of visual appeal, making it a sought-after piece for those building complete Iconic Masters collections. Collectors often value this card not just for its gameplay utility, but for its representation of Magic's enduring design philosophy. Whether you are assembling a personal archive or looking to enhance your collection of rare foil cards, this product offers a tangible connection to the game's rich history. The artist Howard Lyon’s interpretation brings a modern aesthetic to this classic character, appealing to both nostalgic veterans and new hobbyists exploring the trading card game landscape.
