Description
Among the new cards is Strategic Betrayal, card number 94, an uncommon sorcery printed in the distinctive foil finish that appeals to finish-focused collectors. Designed by Flavio Greco Paglia, this card captures the intricate political maneuvering characteristic of the Sultai faction within the Tarkir block. The card’s mechanics allow a player to force a target opponent to exile a creature they control along with a card from their graveyard. This dual-exile effect creates significant strategic pressure, making it a notable inclusion for those building decks centered on graveyard disruption or creature removal. For collectors of Magic: The Gathering, this card represents a tangible piece of the TDM set’s narrative.

As you build your Magic: The Gathering collection, consider the broader context of the sets you are acquiring.
