Description

The 2002 Judgment expansion holds a distinctive place in Magic: The Gathering history as the final set of the Urza's Saga block. Within this pivotal release, card number 1 is Ancestor's Chosen, a white mana artifact creature that demands attention for its substantial mana cost and impactful text box.
