Description
Released in 2008 as part of the Shards of Alara expansion, Covenant of Minds (#38) is a Rare blue Sorcery card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Designed by artist Dan Seagrave, this card introduces a strategic decision-making element that rewards careful play. The card costs {4}{U} to cast, requiring five mana total. The gameplay effect allows you to reveal the top three cards of your library. A target opponent then chooses whether to place those revealed cards into your hand. If the opponent declines, the cards are sent to the graveyard instead, and you draw five cards. This mechanic creates a tense interaction, balancing the potential for card advantage against the risk of discarding valuable resources. For collectors, this release is a notable piece of Modern history within the Magic: The Gathering catalog. The card’s flavor text, referencing Grixis, adds narrative depth to the set's world-building. Whether you are building a competitive deck or assembling a comprehensive collection of Shards of Alara cards, Covenant of Minds offers a distinct mechanical interaction that stands out in the blue sorcery category.
