Stand // Deliver

Description

Released in 2000 as part of the Invasion expansion, Stand // Deliver (Card Number 292) is a split instant card from Magic: The Gathering. Designed by David Martin, this card represents a unique mechanical innovation where two separate spells share a single card frame. The mana cost is split into {W} for the left side and {2}{U} for the right, allowing players to choose between two distinct effects during play. This dual-nature design adds strategic depth, enabling collectors to appreciate both the artistic layout and the functional duality of the card. As an uncommon card, it serves as a valuable piece for enthusiasts building complete Invasion sets or exploring early split-card mechanics. The card’s identity as a split instant makes it a notable item for collectors interested in the evolution of Magic: The Gathering design. Whether for display or gameplay, Stand // Deliver remains a significant entry in the Invasion series, reflecting the creative experimentation of the era. Its inclusion in any collection highlights the innovative spirit of the late 1990s and early 2000s trading card game landscape.
