Thassa's Intervention

Description

Thassa's Intervention (Card Number 72p) is a rare instant card from the Magic: The Gathering Theros Beyond Death Promos set, released in 2020. This promotional release is designated by the set code PTHB and features art by Zack Stella. The card’s mana cost is {X}{U}{U}, requiring two blue mana sources plus an additional amount determined by the variable X. As an instant spell, Thassa's Intervention offers a strategic choice during gameplay. The controller may choose to look at the top X cards of their library, put up to two of them into their hand, and place the remaining cards back on the bottom of the library in a random order. Alternatively, the player can counter a target spell unless its controller pays twice {X}. This dual functionality allows for flexible resource management or defensive play depending on the immediate state of the game. Collectors identify this card by its promo status and its placement within the Theros Beyond Death Promos subset. The card number 72p distinguishes it from the base checklist, marking it as a distinct item for enthusiasts tracking the PTHB expansion. The printed flavor text, "I bring a flood that nothing can withstand," reflects the thematic elements of the Theros block.
