Description
Introduced in 1994, the Wand of Ith stands as a defining piece of Magic: The Gathering's early design philosophy. As card number 114 in The Dark expansion (set code DRK), this Uncommon Artifact requires four mana to cast and offers a powerful disruptive effect. Players can activate the card to force an opponent to reveal a random card from their hand, discarding it unless they pay life or mana equal to that card's value. Designed by Quinton Hoover, the card captures the darker, more aggressive tone that characterized The Dark series. For collectors, owning a copy of Wand of Ith provides a tangible connection to the foundational era of the trading card game. Its straightforward artifact mechanics make it a staple for understanding the game's evolution. Whether you are a seasoned player looking to complete a vintage collection or a new collector exploring the origins of the game, this product represents a key moment in TCG history. The Wand of Ith remains a recognizable name among fans who value the strategic diversity introduced during Magic's first year of expansion.
