Description
Betrayal of Flesh is a black Instant card from the 2003 Mirrodin expansion in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Identified as card number 58 in the set, this Uncommon rarity card offers collectors a tangible piece of the Mirrodin era, designed by Wayne England. The card features a mana cost of five black mana and has a mana value of six, positioning it as a high-impact spell within the game's mechanics. The strategic depth of Betrayal of Flesh lies in its Entwine ability, allowing players to choose one or both effects depending on resource availability. Players can destroy a target creature or return a creature card from their graveyard to the battlefield. If the Entwine cost is paid by sacrificing three lands, both effects can be activated simultaneously, providing significant flexibility in combat and recovery scenarios. This duality makes the card a notable inclusion for players interested in graveyard strategies or aggressive board control. For Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts, this card represents a specific point in the game's design evolution during the early 2000s. Collectors often seek out cards from this period to complete their Mirrodin collection or to appreciate the artistic and mechanical shifts that defined the franchise at the time. Whether you are building a collection based on set completion or focusing on cards with unique mechanical interactions, Betrayal of Flesh offers a distinct identity within the Magic: The Gathering catalog. It appeals to those who value the strategic versatility provided by Entwine mechanics and the historical significance of the Mirrodin block.
