Wisecrack

Description

Identified as card number 98 in the SPM set code, this Uncommon Instant carries a mana cost of {2}{R} and a mana value of 3. For collectors, the foil finish adds a layer of visual appeal that distinguishes this print from its non-foil counterparts, making it a sought-after addition for those who appreciate the aesthetic variety within the Marvel crossover series. From a gameplay perspective, Wisecrack provides a versatile tactical option. As an Instant card, it can be activated at moments when players have priority, allowing for immediate responses during combat or other phases. The card’s effect targets a creature, dealing damage equal to its power to itself. If the targeted creature is attacking, the spell also deals 2 damage to that creature's controller. This dual-effect mechanic makes Wisecrack particularly relevant in aggressive decks or situations where controlling the board state is crucial. The flavor text, referencing a humorous exchange about bearing arms, captures the witty tone often associated with the character, adding narrative depth for fans of the Marvel universe. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading cards often seek out cards from the Marvel's Spider-Man set due to the unique intersection of two major franchises. The Wisecrack card, with its distinctive foil treatment and clever rules text, represents a fun and functional piece of this crossover. Whether you are building a themed deck around the Marvel universe or simply expanding your library with interesting mechanics, this card offers both collectible value and utility. The artist Wayne Reynolds brings his signature style to the card, though the focus remains on the card's identity and mechanical properties.
