Word of Undoing

Description

Word of Undoing is an Instant spell from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, specifically released in the 2007 Masters Edition set. Identified as card number 56, this card features a foil finish and was illustrated by Christopher Rush. The card carries a mana cost of {U} and has a mana value of 1, making it a low-cost option within the blue mana color identity. In gameplay, Word of Undoing offers a strategic removal effect. By paying its mana cost, the player can target a creature on the battlefield. The spell’s effect forces that creature and all white Auras attached to it to return to their owners' hands. This mechanic allows for the recovery of valuable enchantments while dealing with problematic permanents, a key aspect of blue mana strategy in Magic: The Gathering. The flavor text hints at the lore surrounding Urza, adding depth to the card's narrative context within the game's universe. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering often seek out cards from the Masters Edition sets due to their historical significance and distinctive design elements. The foil treatment on this card adds visual appeal, distinguishing it from non-foil versions. As a common rarity card, it serves as a foundational piece for many decks but holds interest for completists looking to build out their Masters Edition collection. The card’s straightforward design and powerful utility make it a recognizable and functional part of the game's extensive library.
