Description
Released in 1996 as part of the Mirage set, Final Fortune is card number 173 in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This rare Instant card requires two red mana to cast and offers a unique, high-risk gameplay mechanic. Instead of dealing direct damage or creating tokens, it grants the controller an additional turn immediately after the current one. However, this power comes with a strict drawback: at the beginning of that extra turn's end step, the player loses the game. This dramatic effect has made it a memorable piece of early Magic history. Collectors often seek this card for its iconic design and its place in the foundational Mirage era. The artist D. Alexander Gregory brought the card to life, contributing to the set's visual identity. For enthusiasts of vintage trading cards, owning a copy of Final Fortune adds depth to any collection. Whether you are drawn to its strategic potential or its historical significance, this card remains a staple for Magic: The Gathering fans. You can explore more about this release and other vintage treasures.
