Description
The Altar of the Brood stands as a pivotal artifact in the Magic: The Gathering universe, originating from the 2015 Ugin's Fate series. Identified as card number 216, this rare artifact enters the game with a low mana cost of one, offering immediate strategic utility. Its primary effect triggers whenever another permanent you control enters the battlefield, forcing each opponent to mill a card from the top of their library. This mechanic makes it a valuable inclusion for decks focused on token strategies or aggressive permanent deployment. Artwork for this release is credited to Erica Yang, whose design contributes to the distinct visual identity of the Ugin's Fate subset. Collectors often seek this card not only for its gameplay potential but also for its place within the broader Magic: The Gathering trading card game lore. The flavor text hints at the dark, ritualistic themes present in the set, adding depth to the card's narrative context. Understanding the card's role in milling strategies helps collectors appreciate its enduring appeal among TCG hobbyists.
