Snake Umbra

Description

The Snake Umbra, identified by card number C18-162, is a notable entry within Magic: The Gathering's The List series released in 2019. This set operates as a bridge between different formats, allowing players to utilize cards from outside their usual restricted environments. For collectors, The List offers a curated selection of staples and fun alternatives, making each card a valuable piece of the broader TCG landscape. As an Enchantment — Aura with a mana cost of {2}{G}, Snake Umbra provides strategic flexibility by attaching to a creature. Its design enhances the enchanted unit with a +1/+1 boost and a triggered ability: whenever the creature deals damage to an opponent, the controller may draw a card. This synergy makes it a compelling choice for decks focused on card advantage and resource management. Additionally, the card features the Umbra mechanic, which protects the enchanted creature from destruction by removing all damage and sacrificing the Aura instead. Collectors often seek this iteration for its historical context within The List's rotating pool of playable cards. The 2019 release dates back to a period where The List served as a primary source for reprinted staples, appealing to those who value the evolution of Magic's card pool. Building a collection around The List requires attention to detail, as these cards are distinguished by their distinct border and set code, PLST. For enthusiasts of Magic: The Gathering, owning a piece of this series connects them to the dynamic history of the game's most iconic trading card game.
