Description
Released in 1994 as part of the Legends expansion, Backfire (card number 47) is a distinct Uncommon card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This Enchantment — Aura, illustrated by Brian Snõddy, introduces a unique defensive mechanic to the game. When attached to a creature, it creates a retaliatory effect: whenever the enchanted creature deals damage to you, the Aura deals an equal amount of damage to that creature's controller. This interaction adds strategic depth to the Legends set, offering collectors a tangible piece of early Magic design history. For enthusiasts of vintage trading cards, completing the Legends subset is a significant milestone, and Backfire represents a clever interaction from the game's foundational era. The card's blue mana cost and specific enchantment subtype make it a recognizable element for those studying the evolution of Magic's rules and card types.
