Summoner's Pact

Description

Summoner's Pact is a green Instant card from the 2021 Time Spiral Remastered expansion, designated as card number 234. This foil version is classified as Rare and features artwork by Chippy, making it a distinct addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection. The card's mana cost is zero, allowing it to be cast immediately without consuming mana resources during a turn. Its primary effect allows the player to search their library for a green creature card, reveal it to add to their hand, and then shuffle the library back. This mechanic provides a direct and efficient way to locate specific creatures needed for strategy. However, the card carries a significant follow-up cost. At the beginning of the controller's next upkeep, they must pay two generic mana and two green mana. Failure to meet this payment results in the loss of the game, creating a high-stakes decision point. Collectors value this card for its unique risk-reward dynamic and its role in the Time Spiral Remastered set. The foil treatment adds visual appeal, enhancing its desirability for those building themed collections or appreciating the aesthetic of the TSR release. As a zero-mana spell, Summoner's Pact represents an interesting mechanical experiment within the game's design history. The combination of immediate resource generation and potential game-ending risk makes it a notable piece for enthusiasts of the format.
