Plagued Rusalka

Description

Plagued Rusalka is a one-mana uncommon creature card from the 2005 Salvat expansion of Magic: The Gathering. Classified as a Spirit with the subtype Spirit, this card requires a single black mana to cast and boasts a power and toughness of 1/1. The card's primary ability allows players to sacrifice another creature to target an opposing creature, reducing its power and toughness by one until the end of the turn. This flexible effect makes it a valuable tactical tool in deck construction, offering immediate board interaction without consuming a full mana turn. The Salvat set, identified by the code PSAL, presents a distinct visual identity within the Magic: The Gathering canon. Artist Alex Horley-Orlandelli brings the Plagued Rusalka to life, contributing to the unique aesthetic that defines this release. For collectors focusing on the 2005 era of the game, this F28 card number represents a key component of the set's creature roster. Enthusiasts who appreciate the strategic depth of early 2000s Magic designs often seek out these uncommons for their functional gameplay value. Whether building a themed collection or exploring the history of Black mana strategies, this card offers a tangible piece of trading card game history.
