Description
Released in 2005 as part of the Ninth Edition core set, Cruel Edict (card number 121★) is an uncommon sorcery within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This print features a foil treatment, distinguishing it from the standard non-foil version found in the same release. Collectors often seek this card to complete their Ninth Edition sets, particularly those focused on foil or star-foil variants. As a core set product, Ninth Edition remains a foundational release for both new and veteran players, making its individual cards highly relevant for catalog building. The foil finish adds a layer of visual appeal that enhances its presentation for display or collection. Whether you are building a comprehensive archive of Magic: The Gathering core sets or focusing on specific mana colors, this 2005 release provides a tangible connection to that era of the game. The straightforward sorcery type and low mana cost make it a recognizable piece of TCG history, valued for its place in the Ninth Edition catalog rather than just gameplay utility.
