Standstill

Description

Released in 2001 as part of the Odyssey expansion, this Magic: The Gathering trading card game card is identified by the set code ODY and card number 102. Standstill is a blue Enchantment that offers a strategic choice during gameplay: when a player casts a spell, the controller may sacrifice it to force each opponent to draw three cards. This unique mechanic makes it a notable piece for decks focused on card advantage and tempo control. The card’s design reflects the artistic style of the early 2000s TCG era, featuring clean borders and clear text boxes that define the game's visual identity. For investors and set builders alike, completing the Odyssey collection requires obtaining this uncommon foil, which remains a staple for enthusiasts of the format. The enduring popularity of Magic: The Gathering ensures that cards like Standstill remain relevant among hobbyists who value both nostalgia and gameplay utility.
