Mind Slash

Description

The 2005 Salvat release of Magic: The Gathering includes Mind Slash as card number F14, offering collectors a distinct piece of the game's international history. Printed in Spanish, this Uncommon Black Enchantment was illustrated by Adam Rex and carries the set code PSAL. The card requires a mana cost of {1}{B}{B} and has a mana value of 3, placing it firmly in the black color identity. Mechanically, Mind Slash provides a targeted disruption effect. The card's activation cost is {1}{B}{B}, requiring the sacrifice of a creature to force a target opponent to reveal their hand and discard a chosen card. The controller then chooses one card from that revealed hand, forcing the opponent to discard it. This ability can only be activated as a sorcery, adhering to the standard timing restrictions for instant-speed spells. This interaction makes the card a functional tool for hand disruption within the game's rules. For Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts, this card represents a specific era of the franchise's expansion into non-English markets. Collectors interested in the linguistic diversity of TCGs or the artistic contributions of Adam Rex often look for this card to complete their set. The card's status as an Uncommon means it is accessible yet distinct from the more common commons, providing a balanced addition to a focused collection. Its straightforward rules text and clear mechanical impact make it a recognizable and functional part of the game's history.
