Cover the Spot

Description

The 2022 release of Magic: The Gathering Unfinity introduced the 207c foil card Cover the Spot, a distinct artifact attraction designed to bring lighthearted chaos to the game table. As a common card within the set, this attraction stands out for its unconventional gameplay that moves beyond traditional mana bases and combat phases. Cover the Spot functions as an artifact attraction, a unique card type that encourages physical interaction with your collection. The card’s primary ability, Visit, invites players to drop three cards from outside the game onto the playing area from a height of at least one foot. If those cards completely cover the Attraction, the player claims the prize. This mechanic transforms the card into a focal point for a mini-game, blending luck, physics, and deck-building strategy in a way few other cards in the format achieve. The prize for successfully covering the Attraction is equally unique. Players receive four generic mana, providing immediate resource acceleration, and gain the option to place a sticker on a nonland permanent they own. This sticker ability adds a layer of customization and temporary buffs that can shift the momentum of a match. After claiming the prize, the Attraction is sacrificed, and the player opens a new one, keeping the cycle of chaotic fun going. Designed by Jeff Miracola, the card exemplifies the whimsical spirit of the Unfinity set. Collectors often seek out foil versions of these attractions for their shimmering finish and the novelty of the gameplay they enable.
