Designed by Anson Maddocks, this card represents the early design philosophy of the trading card game, where timing and resource management were critical to gameplay. Collectors often seek out Limited Edition Alpha cards for their historical significance as the first printing of the game. The card's ability to manipulate combat phases makes it a notable piece for enthusiasts of the game's foundational mechanics.
