Shivan Meteor

Description

The Shivan Meteor from the 2007 Planar Chaos expansion stands as a powerful offensive option for any Magic: The Gathering deck. Released under the PLC set code, this foil version of card number 106 showcases the distinctive finish that collectors appreciate within the set. As a red Sorcery with a mana value of five, it requires a significant investment of {3}{R}{R} to cast directly from hand, dealing a devastating 13 damage to a target creature. This high impact makes it a formidable removal spell for players looking to control the board state against resilient threats. Beyond its raw power, the card is notable for its Suspend 2 ability, a mechanic that allows players to exile the card from their hand by paying {1}{R}{R} and placing two time counters on it. This alternative casting method transforms the card from a simple spell into a strategic tool, enabling players to prepare for its effect before they have the full mana pool to cast it normally. When the counters run out, the card can be cast for free, offering flexibility in timing and resource management that is highly valued in competitive and casual play alike. The Shivan Meteor, illustrated by Chippy, represents a key intersection of powerful gameplay and aesthetic appeal. Its Uncommon rarity in the base set makes it accessible for building diverse collections, while the foil variant adds a layer of desirability for those who appreciate the visual polish of foil prints. Whether you are looking to complete a set, add a potent removal spell to your library, or simply admire the artistry of Chippy, this card offers distinct collector value.
