Plated Onslaught

Description

Plated Onslaught #29 from the 2023 Phyrexia: All Will Be One set represents a strategic white instant within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Designed by David Auden Nash, this uncommon card features a premium foil treatment that distinguishes it within the ONE set code release. The card functions as a potent burst effect, requiring a mana cost of three generic and two white mana to cast. The defining feature of Plated Onslaught is its Affinity for artifacts ability, which reduces the spell’s total cost by one generic mana for every artifact a player controls on the battlefield. This mechanic allows for significant casting cost reduction in decks built around artifact synergies, making the card highly efficient in specific archetypes. Once cast, the spell provides a temporary power and toughness boost of plus two over plus one to all creatures a player controls until the end of the turn. This immediate board impact supports aggressive strategies and enables larger strikes during combat phases. Collectors value this card for its clean design and mechanical utility within the Theros block’s white mana identity. The foil variant adds a layer of visual appeal, enhancing its presence in binders and decks alike. The flavor text, attributed to Ajani, reinforces the thematic unity and strength associated with the card’s effect. As part of the Phyrexia: All Will Be One expansion, it contributes to the broader narrative and strategic landscape of modern Magic: The Gathering formats. Enthusiasts often seek this card to complete set collections or to integrate into artifact-focused builds that leverage its cost-reduction capabilities.
