Description
Released in 1998 as part of the Magic: The Gathering Unglued expansion, the Sex Appeal card (number 13) is a white instant spell designed with humor and flexibility in mind. Illustrated by Matthew D. Wilson, this common card features a mana cost of one white mana, making it an accessible option for players looking to protect their forces. The card’s effect allows the caster to prevent the next three damage points dealt to any number of targets during the turn, divided as they see fit. What distinguishes Sex Appeal within the Unglued set is its conditional bonus. If the player casting the spell shares a different gender identity with more people in the room, the damage prevention effect doubles to six points. This quirky mechanic reflects the card’s place in a non-competitive, joke-themed expansion that played with standard game rules. For collectors, this card represents a fun piece of Magic history, appealing to those who appreciate the creative side of the game's design. It serves as a lighthearted reminder of the diverse ways Wizards of the Coast has experimented with card mechanics over the years. Whether you are building a themed collection or simply enjoy the whimsical nature of Unglued, this card offers a unique glimpse into the game's playful side.
