Force of Will

Description

This instant spell is defined by its blue mana identity and a distinct mana cost of three generic mana and two blue mana. Its most notable gameplay feature is the alternative cost, allowing players to pay one life and exile a blue card from their hand instead of paying the standard mana cost, resulting in the counter of a target spell. This mechanic offers strategic flexibility for blue-based decks. As a foil finish, this card exhibits the shimmering treatment characteristic of the 2014 Judge Gift Cards series. The artwork was created by Matt Stewart, whose illustration complements the card’s magical theme. The 2014 Judge Gift Cards release includes this foil Rare instant spell, numbered 4 in the set. The card’s rarity as a Rare in this subset adds to its desirability for those building specialized collections. The combination of the foil treatment, the unique alternate cost rules, and the J14 set origin makes this card a notable entry for enthusiasts of the format. This card allows a player to pay 1 life and exile a blue card from hand instead of paying its mana cost to counter a target spell.
