Description
Released in 2012 as part of the Return to Ravnica expansion, Search the City (card number 49) stands as a notable Rare enchantment within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Designed by artist Jack Wang, this card features a mana cost of four generic and one blue mana, reflecting its blue color identity and five mana value. Collectors often seek this card for its strategic depth and its role in the diverse card pool of the Ravnica block. The card’s mechanics allow players to exile the top five cards of their library upon entry. If the player subsequently casts a spell matching the name of one of those exiled cards, they may retrieve it, potentially triggering an extra turn if the enchantment is sacrificed with no cards remaining. This intricate interaction makes Search the City a compelling piece for enthusiasts of complex spell-slinging decks. It remains a favorite among those looking to complete their set or explore the unique abilities of the Ravnica setting. ## Sources

When this enchantment enters, exile the top five cards of your library. Whenever you play a card with the same name as one of the exiled cards, you may put one of those cards with that name into its owner's hand. Then if there are no cards exiled with this enchantment, sacrifice it. If you do, take an extra turn after this one.
