Description
Released in 2011 as part of the Magic: The Gathering M12 set, Phantasmal Image (#72) is a highly regarded rare card within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Designed by Nils Hamm, this blue creature card serves as a versatile tool for collectors and players alike. The card features the mana cost {1}{U} and enters the battlefield as a copy of any creature already on the field.

This unique mechanic adds strategic depth to gameplay while maintaining its status as a sought-after piece for enthusiasts of the Magic: The Gathering brand. Collectors often seek out this card to complete their M12 collections or to appreciate its distinct illustration and gameplay utility. The card's design and mechanics reflect the innovative spirit of the 2011 release, making it a notable addition to any serious collection.
