Opt

Description

The 2021 Strixhaven Mystical Archive Etched printing of Opt (#82) features a premium metallic finish on this uncommon instant spell. Published under the set code STA, this card is designed by Rien. And targets players seeking a tactile upgrade to their collection. The etched treatment gives the card a distinct, glossy texture that stands out in any binder or display case, appealing to collectors who value aesthetic variety alongside gameplay utility. As an instant with a mana cost of {U} and a mana value of 1, Opt provides immediate strategic flexibility. Its rules text allows the player to scry one, looking at the top card of their library and choosing to put it on the bottom or keep it on top. Following that scry effect, the spell resolves to draw a card. This combination of card advantage and library manipulation makes it a staple in blue-based decks across various formats. The Etched finish adds a layer of depth to the card's presentation, making it a desirable addition for those completing the set. Whether you are building a competitive deck or curating a showcase collection, this card represents a key piece of the Strixhaven era.
