Released in 2011 as part of the Innistrad expansion, Ghostly Possession is a white mana card designated by the set code ISD. As card number 18, this foil version of the Common rarity enchantment offers collectors a distinct finish compared to its non-foil counterparts. The product is an Enchantment — Aura that targets a creature, providing a combination of evasion and protection through its specific rules text. The card’s mechanical identity revolves around controlling the battlefield by altering the enchanted creature's capabilities. By granting the target flying ability, it allows the creature to bypass ground-based blockers, opening up new attacking avenues. Simultaneously, the card provides a defensive layer by preventing all combat damage that would be dealt to and from the enchanted creature. This dual nature makes it a versatile piece for players building white-based strategies that require both offensive pressure and survivability. For collectors, the foil treatment adds significant visual appeal to the card. The shimmering finish highlights the artwork and text box, making it a desirable addition for those who appreciate the aesthetic variety within the Innistrad set. Whether you are focusing on completing a full set of foil commons or seeking specific cards for your Magic: The Gathering collection, this release represents a key component of the 2011 Innistrad product line.
