Description
Released in 1997 as part of the Magic: The Gathering Tempest expansion, the Lobotomy card (number 267) stands out as a powerful blue-black sorcery. Designed by Thomas M. Baxa, this card features a mana cost of {2}{U}{B} and a mana value of 4. The card allows players to target an opponent, revealing their hand to choose a non-basic land card. The effect then exiles all copies of that chosen card from the opponent's hand, library, and graveyard, followed by a shuffle. For collectors, the Tempest set remains a significant era in trading card game history. Lobotomy is highly regarded for its disruptive gameplay mechanics, making it a sought-after piece for those building complete Tempest collections or interested in vintage Magic: The Gathering strategies. The card's design and utility have kept it relevant among hobbyists who appreciate the depth of early set interactions. Whether you are a long-time player or a new collector exploring classic cards, Lobotomy offers a glimpse into the strategic complexity that defines the Magic: The Gathering experience.
