Mystic Reflection

Description

The 2021 Magic Online Promos release features the Mystic Reflection card, a foil Rare Instant that brings strategic depth to Magic: The Gathering gameplay. Designed by artist YW Tang, this card number, 88250, offers collectors a distinct piece of digital-era Magic history that bridges the gap between online exclusives and physical collection appeal. Functionally, Mystic Reflection serves as a powerful control tool with a mana cost of one generic mana and one blue mana. Its primary effect allows a player to target a nonlegendary creature, causing subsequent creatures or planeswalkers entering the battlefield that turn to enter as copies of that target. This mechanism provides flexible interaction, allowing for creative combos or defensive stalling depending on the board state. Beyond its base instant speed, the card introduces the foretell mechanic. This allows players to exile the card from their hand face down during their turn for two mana, casting it later for its reduced foretell cost of one blue mana. This adds a layer of resource management and timing strategy, rewarding players who plan ahead rather than reacting in the moment. For collectors, the foil treatment enhances the visual presentation of YW Tang’s artwork, making it a standout addition to any Magic Online Promos binder. The blue color identity and instant type line make it a recognizable and functional piece of Magic lore. Whether you are building a themed collection around digital promotions or seeking out cards with unique mechanics like foretell, this card represents a compelling intersection of gameplay utility and collector interest. The Magic: The Gathering community continues to value these promotional items for their historical significance in the game's evolution.
