Angel's Mercy

Description

Angel's Mercy holds a distinct place in Magic: The Gathering history as card number 2 in the Magic 2010 (M10) core set. As the second card printed in this pivotal release, Angel's Mercy represents the early white mana identity of the era. Mechanically, this instant card requires a mana cost of {2}{W}{W} to cast, making it a four-mana investment for a pure life gain effect. The text box provides a straightforward benefit: the controller gains seven life. While it lacks the complexity of later white spells, its simplicity made it a staple in decks focused on survival and attrition during the 2010 competitive landscape. The card’s design features artwork by Andrew Robinson, contributing to the visual identity of the M10 set. Collectors often seek out foil versions of core set staples like Angel's Mercy for their aesthetic appeal and the tactile quality of the foil treatment. As a common rarity, it was widely distributed, yet high-quality examples remain popular for completing set collections or for players who appreciate the classic design language of the late 2000s. Whether you are building a vintage library or simply admire the elegance of white instant spells, this card from the Magic 2010 set offers a tangible connection to a transformative period in the game's evolution.
