Description
Stunted Growth is a sorcery card from the 2008 Magic: The Gathering Masters Edition II set, identified by the code ME2 and card number 179. This rare foil variant carries a mana cost of {3}{G}{G} and a mana value of 5, requiring five green mana to cast. As a single-color green spell, it fits seamlessly into mono-green or green-focused deck archetypes that prioritize card advantage and library management. The card’s effect allows the target player to choose three cards from their hand and place them on top of their library in any order. This unique interaction provides a strategic layer of control, allowing players to reorder their draw sequence or disrupt an opponent’s hand organization. While the card does not directly deal damage or remove creatures, its ability to manipulate the library offers a subtle but powerful tool for long-term planning. Designed by artist NéNé Thomas, this foil version features a shimmering finish that enhances its visual appeal for collectors. For collectors, the foil treatment adds a distinct layer of desirability, distinguishing it from non-foil versions. Whether you are building a competitive deck or expanding your Masters Edition II collection, this card offers both strategic utility and aesthetic charm. The combination of its rare status, foil finish, and versatile gameplay mechanic makes it a standout addition to any Magic: The Gathering enthusiast’s library.
