Spitting Earth

Description

Released in 2001 as part of the Seventh Edition core set, Spitting Earth is a red sorcery card designated with the set code 7ED and the specific card number 220★. This common rarity card utilizes a distinctive star foil treatment, making it a visually appealing addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection. The card's mana cost of {1}{R} and mana value of 2 allow for early-game casting, while its effect scales dynamically based on the player's board state. Specifically, the card deals damage to a target creature equal to the number of Mountains the controller has in play, rewarding strategic land deployment. The flavor text, attributed to a veteran soldier, adds narrative depth by referencing a surprise attack from below. Designed by Michael Koelsch, this piece represents the classic design language of early 2000s core sets. Collectors often seek out star foil variants for their unique shimmer and nostalgic value, particularly those looking to complete the Seventh Edition set. The card remains a functional and recognizable element of the game's history, appealing to both casual players and dedicated collectors of vintage Magic: The Gathering products.
