Description
Released in 2002 as part of the Torment set, the Cephalid Snitch is a notable blue common card from Magic: The Gathering. Designed by artist Jerry Tiritilli, this #30 card depicts a Cephalid wizard with a strategic sacrifice effect that allows players to strip black protection from an opponent's creature. As a foil version, it features the shimmering treatment that distinguishes it from the standard common print run, adding visual appeal to any collection. Collectors often seek this card to complete set runs or to acquire the foil variant for its aesthetic value. The Torment set remains a significant part of Magic's early 2000s history, and cards like the Cephalid Snitch represent the intricate design work of that era. Whether you are a long-time veteran or new to the hobby, adding this foil card to your Magic: The Gathering catalog enhances your understanding of the game's rich lore and mechanics. The product identity is defined by its set code TOR, its mana cost of {1}{U}, and its 1/1 power/toughness stats, making it a foundational piece for blue decks of that time.
