Product Overview

Description

Richard Garfield, Ph.D. Is a legendary creature card from the 2022 Magic: The Gathering release known as The List (Unfinity Foil Edition). Identified by card number 17 in the ULST set, this foil edition features a rare finish that distinguishes it from standard prints. The card honors the game's creator with a unique ability that allows you to play cards as though they were other cards of your choice with the same mana cost, provided you do not choose the same card twice. As a Human Designer with a mana cost of {3}{U}{U}, this five-mana creature brings significant strategic depth to any deck. Its 2/2 power and toughness reflect its role as a utility piece rather than a direct attacker. The foil treatment adds visual appeal for collectors who appreciate the shimmering finish that catches the light during gameplay. The card's ability to mimic other cards makes it a flexible addition to various strategies, though its true value lies in its status as a special foil release. Collectors often seek this card for its historical significance and the distinctive foil finish that defines the Unfinity Foil Edition. It serves as a reminder of the creative minds behind the game while offering gameplay flexibility. For those interested in the intersection of magic and design, this card represents a key piece of the game's evolving landscape. Add this rare foil to your collection to own a piece of Magic history.
