Description
As an Uncommon green Enchantment, it offers a distinct strategic option for players and collectors alike.

This mechanic allows for dynamic combat interactions, enabling sudden bursts of power when needed most. The flavor text accompanying the card reflects the thematic elements of the Mercadian setting, hinting at the symbiotic relationship between the forest and its inhabitants. For collectors, foil cards from the late 1990s hold significant interest due to their production history and aesthetic quality. Whether you are a long-time veteran of the game or new to collecting, this foil Sustenance card represents a tangible connection to a pivotal moment in trading card game development.
