Description
Released in 2008, the Masters Edition II set reprinted classic cards from the early years of Magic: The Gathering, including this foil treatment of Sustaining Spirit, card number 36. As a white mana Angel Spirit, the card features a mana cost of {1}{W} and a power/toughness of 0/3. The card is notable for its cumulative upkeep mechanic, which requires the controller to pay {1}{W} for each age counter on the permanent at the beginning of their upkeep, or sacrifice the creature. This mechanic was balanced by a powerful static ability that prevents life total reduction below 1, effectively serving as a protective shield for the controller. Collectors often seek out the foil version of this card for its shimmering finish and historical significance within the Masters line. The card was illustrated by Rebecca Guay, adding to its visual appeal for fans of the era. For those building a Masters Edition II collection, this foil variant represents a key component for completing the set.
