Praetor's Counsel

Description

Praetor's Counsel is a powerful sorcery from the 2011 Magic: The Gathering Mirrodin Besieged expansion. Printed as card number 88, this mythic rare card features a foil finish that catches the light and distinguishes it within the collector's portfolio. Designed by Daarken, the card represents a significant moment in the Mirrodin block's storyline, where the Phyrexian contagion threatens to corrupt the planeswalker Karn. In gameplay, Praetor's Counsel demands a substantial mana investment of five generic and three green mana, resulting in a mana value of eight. Despite this high cost, the card offers a transformative effect for players controlling white mana. By returning all cards from the graveyard to the hand and exiling itself, the caster gains a permanent advantage: no maximum hand size for the rest of the game. This ability allows for strategic resource recovery and long-term board control, making it a memorable inclusion for fans of the format. The foil treatment on Praetor's Counsel adds a layer of visual appeal, making it a desirable piece for those building themed collections or seeking high-rarity cards from the era. As a mythic rare, it holds a prominent place in the set's hierarchy, appealing to both competitive players and those who value the artistic and narrative contributions of the Mirrodin block.
