Pox

Description

The 2024 Mystery Booster 2 release features the rare foil sorcery Pox, card number 185, designed by Scott M. Fischer for Magic: The Gathering collectors. As a promotional experiment within the game's history, Mystery Booster sets are known for featuring unique cards and reprints that test new mechanics or revisit beloved designs in fresh contexts. Pox is a black sorcery with a mana cost of {B}{B}{B} and a mana value of 3. Its effect is a devastating global catastrophe that impacts every player simultaneously. The card requires each player to lose a third of their life, discard a third of their hand, sacrifice a third of their creatures, and sacrifice a third of their lands, with each portion rounded up. This all-encompassing effect makes Pox a memorable piece of Magic lore, often cited for its dramatic and symmetrical destruction. For collectors, owning this card provides a tangible connection to one of the game's most iconic and feared spells. The foil finish on this Mystery Booster 2 print enhances its presence in any collection. Scott M. Fischer’s artwork, though not described here, is a key part of the card's identity, bringing a unique artistic vision to the design. Mystery Booster cards are highly sought after for their novelty and the surprise element they bring to the collecting experience.
