Enslave

Description

The 2007 Planar Chaos set reimagined the Magic: The Gathering experience by swapping the roles of common, uncommon, and rare cards, creating a unique landscape for collectors and players alike. Within this distinctive expansion, Enslave stands out as card number 70, classified as an Uncommon rarity. This printing features a foil finish, adding a layer of visual appeal that distinguishes it from non-foil versions and makes it a favorite among those who appreciate the tactile quality of vintage TCG cards. Enslave is an Enchantment — Aura with a mana cost of {4}{B}{B}, requiring a significant investment of black mana to cast. Its primary function allows the controller to take command of an opponent's creature. By enchanting a target creature, the card grants full control over its actions during gameplay. However, this power comes with a built-in drawback: at the beginning of each of your upkeeps, the enchanted creature deals 1 damage to its owner. This mechanic introduces a strategic layer where players must weigh the immediate tactical advantage of controlling a powerful creature against the long-term cost of damaging their own board state. Designed by Zoltan Boros & Gabor Szikszai, this card represents a key moment in Magic's history, showcasing the creative risks Wizards of the Coast took with alternate universe themes. Whether you are building a complete set of Planar Chaos cards or looking to add a potent black enchantment to your collection, Enslave offers both historical significance and gameplay utility.
