As card number 50 in the set, this uncommon blue creature card has established itself as a recognizable name among enthusiasts of the game. The card features a mana cost of {1}{U} and serves as a two-mana Wall, providing an immediate defensive presence on the battlefield. The strategic identity of Wall of Tears centers on its unique defensive capabilities.
