Description
Released in 2001 as part of the Planeshift expansion, this Magic: The Gathering card is a rare foil sorcery identified by the set code PLS and card number 61. Designed by artist DiTerlizzi, the card commands a mana cost of {5}{R}{R}, making it a significant investment of resources that requires careful timing during play. Its mechanics introduce a high-stakes gamble where players simultaneously reveal hidden items, with life loss determined by the quantity revealed and the fewest count among participants. This unique effect creates unpredictable moments that can drastically shift the board state, appealing to collectors who appreciate complex, interactive mechanics over straightforward combat. For enthusiasts of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, the foil treatment adds visual appeal and distinctiveness, setting it apart from non-foil versions within the Planeshift collection. Whether used for casual games or collected for its thematic chaos, this card remains a memorable piece of early 2000s TCG history. The combination of its red mana identity and powerful, albeit risky, effect makes it a fascinating study in game design from this era.
