Elixir of Immortality

Description

Elixir of Immortality appears as card number 204 in the Magic 2013 core set, released in 2012. This Uncommon Artifact enters the game with a single mana cost, making it an accessible resource for players building their decks. The card’s ability allows you to pay two mana and tap it to gain five life, after which you shuffle both the artifact and your graveyard back into your owner's library. This effect provides a strategic option for life total management while recycling resources from the graveyard. The card was illustrated by Zoltan Boros and Gabor Szikszai, whose artwork accompanies the rules text and flavor quote. The flavor text, attributed to Baron Sengir, notes that the bottled life is stale but retains its restorative effect. In the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, Elixir of Immortality serves as a functional component within the M13 set structure. Collectors and players who focus on the Magic 2013 expansion often seek this card number to complete their base checklist. Its straightforward artifact type and low mana cost define its role in the set's design. The combination of its rarity, card number, and gameplay function makes it a distinct entry in the M13 library.
