Weakness

Description

The 1994 Summer Magic / Edgar set occupies a unique and controversial space in Magic: The Gathering history. Often referred to as the "Edgar" set, this print run was extremely limited and quickly pulled from circulation, making any card from this release highly sought after by dedicated collectors. Among these rare artifacts is the Weakness card, numbered 136 in the Summer Magic subset. Weakness is a black Enchantment — Aura that modifies the battlefield dynamics by imposing a -2/-1 modifier on the enchanted creature. Designed by Douglas Shuler, the card represents the dark magic themes prevalent in the early years of the game. Because the Summer Magic / Edgar set was never officially distributed through standard retail channels, cards like Weakness are considered holy grails for completionists aiming to document the full scope of Magic's early experimental expansions. Collectors value this card not just for its gameplay mechanics, but for its historical significance as a glimpse into Wizards of the Coast's early design iterations. For enthusiasts of vintage TCGs, adding Weakness to a collection offers a tangible connection to the formative era of competitive card gaming.
