Description
Terror Ballista, cataloged as card number 290, is a rare artifact creature from the 2022 Magic: The Gathering expansion The Brothers' War. Designed by Leon Tukker, this Construct card demands a significant mana investment of seven mana to cast.

This mechanic allows players to leverage their graveyard resources for significant board impact. Additionally, the card features the unearth mechanic, costing three black mana and two more black mana to return it from the graveyard to the battlefield with haste. This versatility makes Terror Ballista a compelling addition for collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading cards who appreciate complex artifact interactions. The Brothers' War set captures the industrial warfare theme of the era, and this card exemplifies the strategic depth of the product. For enthusiasts of the game, understanding the mechanics of cards like Terror Ballista is essential for both collection and gameplay appreciation. The Brothers' War remains a pivotal era in the TCG's history, and cards from this release continue to be central to collector discussions.
