Description
The Jade Monolith is a distinct artifact card from the 1994 Magic: The Gathering Summer Magic / Edgar expansion. Printed with the set code SUM and numbered 255, this card was illustrated by Anson Maddocks. As a Rare card, it holds a specific place in the history of the game's early design philosophy. This artifact costs four mana to cast and provides a strategic defensive option. Its ability allows a player to redirect damage from a chosen source that would hit a target creature, instead causing that source to deal the damage to the controlling player. This mechanic offers a unique tactical choice during gameplay, distinguishing it from other defensive artifacts of the era. Collectors often seek out cards from the Summer Magic / Edgar series due to the set's limited distribution and historical significance within the Magic: The Gathering community. The Jade Monolith appeals to those interested in early artifact design and the complete collection of the SUM expansion. Its straightforward rules text and impactful effect make it a noteworthy piece for any TCG library focused on foundational sets.
