Description
Cleansing is a powerful white sorcery from the 1994 Magic: The Gathering expansion known as The Dark. Designated as card number 4 in the set, this rare card has become a notable piece for enthusiasts of early trading card game history. The artwork by Pete Venters complements the card's dramatic effect, making it a visually striking addition to any collection. In gameplay, Cleansing requires three white mana to cast and offers a unique strategic option. Its effect forces each land on the battlefield to be destroyed unless any player chooses to pay one life to save it. This creates tense moments where players must weigh the immediate loss of resources against the cost of life, embodying the high-stakes atmosphere characteristic of The Dark set. For collectors, owning a copy of Cleansing means possessing a piece of Magic: The Gathering's foundational era. As a rare card, it holds significant appeal for those looking to complete The Dark set or add a impactful spell to their vintage collection. The combination of its unique mechanic, iconic artist, and status as a rare card makes Cleansing a standout item in the world of TCG collecting.
