Description
Released in 1994 as part of The Dark expansion, Runesword is an Uncommon Artifact card identified by card number 107.

The card requires six mana to cast and features a powerful ability that enhances an attacking creature, granting it a significant power boost until the end of the turn.

Whether you are building a vintage collection or seeking specific cards for The diverse inventory, Runesword represents a key piece of 1990s trading card game culture. Its combination of strategic depth and historical significance ensures its relevance among enthusiasts of the genre. This artifact remains a notable entry for those interested in the evolution of Magic: The Gathering mechanics and the iconic sets that defined the hobby.
