Description
Designed by artist Peter Diamond, this Rare card requires players to manage a mana cost of three generic, one white, and one black mana. Its Saga layout allows the enchantment to progress through three distinct phases, each triggered by adding lore counters as the card enters play and during subsequent draw steps. The first chapter phases out all artifacts and creatures, creating a temporary state where permanents effectively cease to exist. The second chapter draws two cards for the controller while dealing two damage to each player, shifting board control aggressively. Finally, the third chapter offers a life-gain opportunity if a creature token is sacrificed, rewarding strategic resource management. This product appeals to collectors who appreciate the intersection of sci-fi lore and intricate card game design. Collecting cards from the Magic: The Gathering Star Trek series allows enthusiasts to engage with both gaming mechanics and franchise history. The City on the Edge of Forever stands out for its unique white and black color identity, offering a different strategic angle than typical monochromatic Sages. Whether you are building a competitive deck or expanding your collection of crossover TCG products, this card provides a distinct mechanical experience. ## Sources
