Description
Released in 2000 as part of the Invasion set, the Magic: The Gathering card Overload (number 157) remains a notable piece of TCG history for its strategic utility. This Red Foil version highlights the card's aggressive red mana identity, offering collectors a visually distinct parallel within the standard set. The card functions as an Instant with a mana cost of {R}, allowing players to target and destroy artifacts with a mana value of 2 or less. Its defining feature is the Kicker ability, which allows the caster to pay an additional {2} to increase the threshold for destruction to artifacts valued at 5 or less. This flexibility makes it a staple in many artifact-control strategies during its era. For collectors, the foil treatment adds a premium aesthetic appeal, distinguishing it from the non-foil base cards. Whether you are building a vintage collection or seeking to complete the Invasion set, this card represents a key component of the block's mechanical diversity.
