Description
Released in 2013 as part of the Modern Masters set, this foil City of Brass card carries the MMA set code and is numbered 221 within the collection. Designed by Jung Park, the card serves as a critical land source for players seeking reliable mana acceleration. As a Rare card in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, it offers a unique trade-off that defines its strategic utility. The card functions as a Land with a mana value of zero, allowing players to tap it to add one mana of any color. This versatility makes it a staple in many deck archetypes where fixing is essential. However, the power comes with a cost: whenever the land becomes tapped, it deals 1 damage to the controller. This mechanic requires players to manage their life total carefully while leveraging the card’s ability to produce any type of mana needed. For collectors and players alike, the foil finish adds a distinct visual appeal to this essential game piece. Its enduring presence in competitive play underscores its importance in the Magic: The Gathering landscape. Whether you are building a new deck or expanding your collection, this card represents a key component of the game's strategic depth. The flavor text, attributed to Nulakam the Archivist, hints at the dangers of harnessing such power, adding a layer of narrative to the gameplay., collectors can find this release to enhance their Magic: The Gathering inventory.
