Dissipation Field

Description

Dissipation Field is a notable enchantment from the 2010 Magic: The Gathering expansion Scars of Mirrodin. Identified by card number 32 and the set code SOM, this blue card carries a mana value of four, requiring a mana cost of {2}{U}{U} to cast. As a rare card within the set, it is sought after by collectors who appreciate the distinct foil finish applied to this print run. The card’s strategic design focuses on defense and board control. Its primary ability triggers whenever a permanent deals damage to you, allowing you to return that damaging permanent to its owner's hand. This mechanic provides a unique form of disruption, forcing opponents to reconsider aggressive plays or risky attacks. The flavor text, attributed to Kara Vrist, a Neurok agent, adds narrative depth by highlighting the card's defensive nature with the line, "Strike me once, shame on you. Strike me twice... Well, let's just see if you can." For Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts, this card represents a key piece of the Scars of Mirrodin era. Collectors often look for this card to complete their Scars of Mirrodin collection, particularly those who prefer the foil treatment for its visual appeal and tactile quality. Whether you are building a Commander deck around blue enchantments or simply assembling a diverse library of rare spells, this card offers both mechanical utility and aesthetic value. The combination of its protective effect and its foil finish makes it a standout item for any serious collection.
