Weakness

Description

Released in 1994, the Summer Magic / Edgar set occupies a unique and volatile space in Magic: The Gathering history. This product represents card number 136 from that specific expansion, featuring the creature enchantment Weakness. Designed by Douglas Shuler, the card is part of a set that was rapidly pulled from circulation due to rules clarification issues, making it a highly sought-after piece for TCG historians and collectors of early Magic expansions. As an Aura enchantment with a mana cost of one black mana, Weakness allows players to enchant a creature, reducing its power and toughness by two and one respectively. This straightforward effect highlights the game's early design philosophy, where simple mechanical interactions drove the meta. The card's Common rarity contrasts with the set's overall scarcity, as the entire Summer Magic / Edgar print run was incredibly short. Collecting cards from this era appeals to those interested in the evolution of game balance and design. For collectors, this card serves as a tangible link to the foundational days of Magic: The Gathering. It is a key component for those building a comprehensive library of early set releases or studying the history of the Black color identity. Whether you are a veteran collector tracking down rare sets or a newcomer interested in the game's origins, cards from the 1994 Summer Magic / Edgar expansion offer a deep dive into the past. The Weakness card, with its distinct design and mechanical simplicity, stands as a notable artifact of this pivotal time in trading card game development.
