Avengers: Under Siege

Description

Designed by Serena Malyon, this foil Rare card utilizes a black and red mana identity to execute a multi-step plan of action that rewards players for establishing a villainous presence on the battlefield. As an Enchantment — Saga with a mana value of 4, it offers a unique strategic layer that unfolds over several turns rather than resolving immediately upon casting. The card’s abilities are structured around its lore counters, which are added as it enters the battlefield and during the player's draw step. The first chapter allows the controller to create two 2/1 black Villain creature tokens that possess menace, providing immediate board presence and blocking potential. The second chapter deals 2 damage to each non-Villain creature and each opponent, effectively clearing the path for the newly summoned tokens while applying pressure to opposing players. Upon reaching its final chapter, the Saga concludes by creating a Treasure token for every Villain controlled, generating significant mana acceleration that can fuel subsequent powerful spells. The Avengers: Under Siege card stands out as a compelling option for decks focused on creature synergies and mana ramp. Its design integrates seamlessly into the broader narrative of the Marvel universe within the game, appealing to fans who appreciate both the lore and the tactical depth of the Saga mechanic. Whether building a themed deck or expanding a collection of foil rares, this card represents a strategic and visually distinct addition to the Magic: The Gathering catalog. The interplay between token generation, board wipe, and mana production makes it a versatile tool for players looking to control the game state while leveraging the thematic elements of the Marvel Super Heroes expansion.
