Oblivion Ring

Description

The Magic 2013 Oblivion Ring foil card, numbered 22, is an uncommon white enchantment from the 2012 Magic: The Gathering set. This release features the distinctive shimmering finish of the foil treatment, distinguishing it within the M13 checklist. The card’s design credits artist Franz Vohwinkel, whose work defines the visual identity of this print run. Mechanically, this enchantment centers on a conditional exile effect. When cast for its mana cost of two generic and one white mana, it exiles a target nonland permanent from the battlefield. The exiled card remains out of play until this Oblivion Ring leaves the battlefield, at which point the exiled permanent returns to its owner's control. This interaction creates a strategic dynamic where the card's impact depends entirely on whether the enchantment survives in play. As a white card with a mana value of three, it fits into broader strategies focused on board control and resource management. Collectors who appreciate the structural simplicity of the base set often target this card to complete their Magic 2013 collections. The foil variant adds a tactile and visual element to the card, appealing to those who value the aesthetic differences between standard and premium prints. The combination of a well-known game mechanic and the specific M13 set identity makes this a recognizable piece for enthusiasts of the trading card game.
