Personal Incarnation

Description

Released in 1993 as part of the Limited Edition Alpha set, the Magic: The Gathering card Personal Incarnation holds a significant place in the history of the Trading Card Game. Identified as card number 31, this release is classified as a Rare creature with the type line Creature — Avatar Incarnation. It belongs to the white mana color identity and requires a mana cost of three generic mana and three white mana to cast. The card features distinct mechanics that define its strategic role. It possesses the ability to redirect the next instance of damage dealt to it this turn to its owner, a power that can only be activated by the card's controller. Furthermore, when this creature dies, its owner loses half their total life, rounded up. This high mana value of 6 and a power/toughness of 6/6 make it a formidable presence on the battlefield. For collectors, this product represents the earliest era of Magic: The Gathering. The artist Kev Brockschmidt contributed to this early edition, which established the visual and mechanical foundation for the game. Owning a copy of Personal Incarnation from this set offers a tangible connection to the origins of the hobby, appealing to those who value the legacy and evolution of the game's design.
