Cut Short

Description

The Cut Short card, numbered 10 in the 2023 March of the Machine expansion, is a white Instant from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Designed by Tran Nguyen, this foil version appeals to collectors who appreciate the shimmering finish applied to common cards from this era. The card features a mana cost of two generic mana and one white mana, resulting in a mana value of three. Its primary effect allows the player to destroy a target planeswalker that was activated that turn or a tapped creature, making it a versatile answer in many game scenarios. A key feature of this spell is the Convoke ability, which permits players to tap their creatures to help pay for the spell’s cost. Each tapped creature contributes either one generic mana or one mana of that creature's color, offering flexible casting options. The flavor text hints at the narrative conclusion of Tamiyo, adding a layer of story depth to the card. Collectors often seek out this card for its iconic art and its place within one of Magic’s largest recent expansions. Whether you are building a deck or simply assembling a set of foil commons, this card represents a solid addition to any Magic: The Gathering enthusiast's library. The combination of its strategic utility and the aesthetic appeal of the foil treatment makes it a favorite among players and collectors alike.
