Description

The 2017 Ixalan foil version of Trove of Temptation (#171) stands as a distinct addition to the Magic: The Gathering trading card game collection. Released as an uncommon enchantment, this card features a premium foil finish that enhances its visual appeal for collectors who appreciate the tactile quality of finished products. As card number 171 in the set, it holds a specific place in the catalog for enthusiasts tracking their progress through the Ixalan expansion. Designed by artist Jonas De Ro, the card integrates seamlessly into the broader aesthetic of the release while offering unique gameplay utility. In Magic: The Gathering, Trove of Temptation functions as a red spell with a mana cost of three generic mana and one red mana. Its primary effect forces opponents to attack you or a planeswalker you control with at least one creature each combat if able, adding a layer of strategic pressure. Additionally, at the beginning of your end step, the card creates a Treasure token. This artifact allows players to sacrifice it to add one mana of any color, providing flexible resource generation that can support a wide variety of deck strategies. Collectors often seek out foil versions of uncommon cards like this one for their shimmering surface and the way they catch the light, making them desirable for display or personal collections. The combination of its mechanical function and its premium finish makes Trove of Temptation a noteworthy piece for any Magic: The Gathering enthusiast building their library. Whether you are drawn to the strategic depth of mana acceleration or the aesthetic value of foil treatments, this card represents a solid entry in the Ixalan series.
