Description
Soul Ransom is a distinct Enchantment-Aura card found in Magic: The Gathering's 2017 Modern Masters release. As card number 186 in the set, this Uncommon card provides collectors with a specific piece of the game's strategic history. The card features a mana cost of {2}{U}{B}, making it a Blue and Black option for players looking to build complex decks. The card's design centers on a powerful control mechanic. By enchanting a creature, the player gains full control over that unit. The unique twist lies in its activated ability: only opponents may trigger the effect. When an opponent discards two cards, they force the Aura to be sacrificed, allowing them to draw two cards in return. This creates a high-stakes interaction that defines the card's role in gameplay, rewarding strategic foresight and resource management. For collectors, Soul Ransom represents a key component of the Modern Masters 3 (MM3) subset. The card's art is credited to Steve Argyle, whose work adds visual depth to the card's identity. Collectors often seek this card to complete specific subsets or to build themed collections around Blue and Black enchantments. Whether you are completing the Modern Masters series or building a library around the Enchantment-Aura type, Soul Ransom offers a compelling addition. Its unique mechanic and specific set placement make it a notable item for any serious collection. Understanding the card's rules and strategic potential is essential for appreciating its place in the broader Magic: The Gathering landscape.
