Description
Caverns of Despair is a rare World Enchantment from the 1994 Magic: The Gathering Legends expansion. Designed by Harold McNeill, this card carries the number 136 in the LEG set code. As a World Enchantment, it exerts a global effect on the game board, strictly limiting both attacking and blocking capabilities to no more than two creatures each. This mechanical constraint offers a distinct strategic profile compared to other cards in the Legends series. Collectors often seek this card to complete the base set or to appreciate its role in early trading card game design. The card’s red mana cost and high mana value reflect its powerful board-wide influence. For enthusiasts of vintage TCG history, owning a copy of Caverns of Despair provides a tangible connection to the foundational mechanics of Magic. Whether you are building a Legends-themed collection or focusing on rare World Enchantments, this card represents a significant piece of gaming heritage.
