Description
Spirit Flare is a white instant card from the Magic: The Gathering Torment set, released in 2002. As card number 15, it features artwork by rk post and serves as a strategic tool for players controlling white mana. The card allows you to tap an untapped creature you control to deal damage equal to its power to a target attacking or blocking creature your opponent controls. This mechanic enables flexible interaction during combat phases, turning your own units into tactical assets. A key feature of Spirit Flare is its flashback ability, which costs one white mana and three life to cast from your graveyard. This adds significant depth to deck construction, providing a second chance to use the spell without needing to draw it again. Collectors value this card for its place in the early 2000s Magic: The Gathering era, representing a time when flexible instant-speed interaction was highly sought after. The clean white border and straightforward design reflect the aesthetic of the Torment expansion, making it a recognizable piece for enthusiasts of the format. Whether you are building a competitive deck or curating a set collection, Spirit Flare remains a functional and historic card in the Magic: The Gathering universe.
