Description
Numbered 9 in the 2017 Judge Gift Cards series, this Magic: The Gathering foil features the Rules Lawyer, an Artifact Creature — Cyborg Advisor with a mana cost of {3}{W}{W}. Designed by Dmitry Burmak, the card introduces a powerful strategic element where state-based actions no longer apply to the controller. This unique text allows players to ignore life totals, lethal damage, and loyalty counters, fundamentally altering how the game unfolds for that specific player. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering often seek out cards from Judge Gift Cards sets due to their limited distribution and thematic focus on tournament officials. The foil treatment adds significant visual appeal, making this card a standout piece for any TCG collection. The Cyborg Advisor subtype and the specific rules text make this card a memorable addition for those interested in the history of Magic's promotional releases.
