Description
Released in 2023 as part of the Shadows of the Past set, Increasing Ambition (card #32) is a rare sorcery within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Designed by artist Volkan Baǵa, this card belongs to the black mana color identity and features a mana cost of {4}{B} with a mana value of 5. The card allows players to search their library for a card and place it directly into their hand, followed by shuffling the library. A distinct mechanic is included: if cast from a graveyard, the effect is doubled to find two cards instead of one. This same graveyard casting capability is available via flashback for a cost of {7}{B}, after which the card is exiled. For collectors of Magic: The Gathering, Increasing Ambition represents a compelling piece of the Shadows of the Past catalog. Its unique dual-functionality makes it a notable entry for enthusiasts tracking specific set mechanics.
