Description
The 2019 release of Smiting Helix from Magic: The Gathering's The List set (MH1-109) offers collectors a versatile sorcery card defined by its dual threat and recovery options. Designed with a mana cost of {3}{B} and a mana value of 4, this card delivers immediate impact by dealing 3 damage to any target while allowing the player to gain 3 life. Its color identity spans black, red, and white, providing flexibility in deck construction. A key feature of this product is its flashback mechanic, which costs {R}{W} to cast from the graveyard. This allows players to reuse the card's effects after it has been played or discarded, adding significant strategic depth to gameplay. The card's text reflects a thematic focus on vengeance, with flavor text noting that malice is appropriate when called for. Illustrated by Evan Shipard, this uncommon card is a staple for collectors seeking complete The List sets or those who appreciate unique card mechanics. Collectors often value this card for its utility in competitive formats and its representation of the set's innovative design philosophy.
