Arcane Subtraction

Description

Released in 2021 as part of the Strixhaven: School of Mages expansion, this foil version of Arcane Subtraction holds a distinct place in Magic: The Gathering collecting circles. Identified by card number 36 in the STX set, the card features the artistic work of Anastasia Ovchinnikova. As a Common rarity, it serves as a foundational piece for builders looking to complete their Strixhaven collection or acquire specific foil treatments. The card functions as a one-mana Instant with an additional blue mana cost, allowing players to reduce a target creature's power by four until the end of the turn. Its design incorporates the Learn mechanic, offering strategic depth by letting players reveal a Lesson card from outside the game or discard a card to draw one. For collectors, the foil finish adds a layer of visual appeal that distinguishes it from the non-foil base version. Whether you are hunting for set completion or seeking to add a specific foil staple to your library, Arcane Subtraction represents a tangible connection to the academic theme of the Strixhaven era. It remains a sought-after item for enthusiasts who value both gameplay utility and the aesthetic finish of foil prints.
