Curse of the Cabal stands as a formidable sorcery within the Magic: The Gathering Time Spiral expansion, released in 2006. As card number 99, this rare foil card captures the ambitious design philosophy of the Time Spiral set, which reprinted classic mechanics with a modern twist. The card features a massive mana cost of nine black mana plus one generic mana, reflecting its potential to dramatically alter the board state by forcing a target player to sacrifice half of their permanents. Beyond its immediate effect, this product represents the card’s inclusion of the Suspend mechanic, a innovative feature introduced in Time Spiral. Players can exile the card from their hand by paying {2}{B}{B} and placing two time counters on it, allowing it to be cast for free later. Additionally, the card includes a triggered ability that activates at the beginning of each player's upkeep, allowing any player to sacrifice a permanent to add two time counters, accelerating its release. This dual-layered interaction makes it a fascinating piece for enthusiasts of complex card interactions. Artwork by John Avon complements the dark fantasy theme, though the focus remains on the card's mechanical depth and rarity. Collectors seeking to complete the Time Spiral set will find this rare foil version particularly appealing due to its distinct finish and historical significance in the game's evolution. Whether you are a veteran player or a new collector, Curse of the Cabal offers a blend of strategic depth and collectible value that defines the Time Spiral era.

If the player does, put two time counters on this card.
