Feedback

Description

Released in 1996 as part of the Rivals Quick Start Set, the Feedback card (number 9) holds a distinct place in Magic: The Gathering history. Designed by Quinton Hoover, this Uncommon card is categorized as an Enchantment — Aura with a mana cost of {2}{U}. The set code RQS identifies it as a foundational component for new players entering the game during that era, providing accessible mechanics to build competitive decks. Feedback functions as a continuous threat on the battlefield. Once attached to another enchantment, it triggers a specific effect at the beginning of the enchanted player's upkeep. Rather than dealing damage to the opponent, the card forces the controller of the enchanted enchantment to take 1 damage each turn. This unique interaction creates a tactical puzzle for opponents, forcing them to reconsider which enchantments they place under its influence. The card’s blue identity allows it to fit into control or tempo strategies that rely on resource denial and attrition. Its straightforward rules text and reliable trigger make it a familiar sight in vintage playgroups. Collectors often seek out cards from this set to complete their RQS collections or to appreciate the early evolution of Aura enchantments. Whether you are building a vintage deck or expanding your library, adding this card to your roster provides both nostalgic value and strategic utility.
