Pursuit of Flight

Description

The Pursuit of Flight foil card from the 2012 Return to Ravnica set offers a versatile enchantment option for Red decks seeking enhanced mobility and power. As card number 102, this Common enchantment—Aura is designed to transform a standard creature into a formidable aerial threat. The card’s primary effect grants the enchanted creature a +2/+2 power and toughness boost, significantly increasing its damage output in combat. Additionally, it features a triggered ability that allows you to tap a blue mana source to give the creature flying until the end of the turn, providing crucial evasion against ground-based blockers. This dual benefit of raw power and tactical flight makes it a staple for players looking to control the battlefield or close out games quickly. Artwork by Christopher Moeller complements the card’s theme, depicting the dynamic energy of the Izzet League’s aerial maneuvers. The flavor text, attributed to Bori Andon, an Izzet blastseeker, adds a layer of narrative depth, warning of the dangers of unchecked magical voltage. Collectors appreciate the foil finish for its shimmering quality, which enhances the visual appeal of the card within the Return to Ravnica block. For investors and hobbyists alike, this card represents a tangible piece of Magic: The Gathering history, bridging the gap between casual play and competitive strategy. Whether used in a constructed format or simply admired for its design, the Pursuit of Flight foil remains a beloved component of the Return to Ravnica expansion.
