Volrath's Motion Sensor

Description

Volrath's Motion Sensor stands as one of the most memorable cards from Magic: The Gathering's 1998 Unglued expansion. As the 39th card in the set, this black uncommon Aura enchantment introduces a humorous yet mechanically engaging dynamic that has captivated fans for decades. Designed by Mark Tedin, the card represents a playful departure from the serious tone of standard expansions, embodying the experimental spirit that defined the Unglued series. The card functions as an enchantment that attaches to a player, rather than a creature or land. Its unique ability activates upon entering the battlefield, allowing the controller to select one of the enchanted player's hands. The enchantment then balances on the back of that hand, creating a tangible threat. When the Aura is removed from the game, the enchanted player sacrifices three life, making it a potent tool for disruption in casual and limited formats. This mechanic encourages interaction and strategic decision-making, adding a layer of complexity to the game. For collectors, Volrath's Motion Sensor is a sought-after piece of Magic history. Whether you are looking to complete your Unglued collection or add a unique card to your library, this Aura enchantment offers both nostalgic value and gameplay utility. Its enduring popularity speaks to the creativity of the Unglued design team and the lasting appeal of Magic: The Gathering's diverse card pool.
