Stuffy Doll

Description

As a Rare artifact creature with the Construct subtype, this Magic: The Gathering card challenges traditional creature dynamics through its distinctive rules text. The card features a mana cost of five and boasts a power and toughness of 0/1, yet its true value lies in its complex interaction capabilities. Stuffy Doll is indestructible, meaning it cannot be destroyed by damage or effects that specifically destroy creatures. Upon entering the battlefield, the controller chooses an opponent. Whenever this creature is dealt damage, it deals that exact amount of damage to the chosen player. This creates a volatile exchange: any damage inflicted on the doll triggers a retaliatory strike against an opponent, while activating its ability requires sacrificing its own health to deal 1 damage. This dual nature makes it a fascinating subject for collectors who appreciate strategic depth and unique gameplay interactions. The card, numbered 264 in the set, was illustrated by Dave Allsop, whose work contributes to the set's distinctive aesthetic. Collectors often seek out foil versions of Rare cards from this era for their shimmering finish and historical significance within the Time Spiral block. For enthusiasts of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, Stuffy Doll represents a specific moment in the game's design evolution. Its artifact nature and construct type allow it to interact with a wide variety of board states, making it a memorable piece for those studying the game's history or completing the Time Spiral collection. Whether for gameplay experimentation or catalog completion, this foil card remains a notable entry in the Time Spiral series.
