Double Header

Description

Released in 2004, the Unhinged expansion brought a humorous twist to Magic: The Gathering with its card Double Header. As card number 31 in the set, this common foil creature Drake is a staple for collectors who appreciate the game's more whimsical side. The card features a mana cost of three generic mana and two blue mana, making it a mid-game threat that costs five total mana to cast. Double Header is a blue Drake with the ability to fly, allowing it to bypass ground-based blockers. Its unique triggered ability activates when the creature enters the battlefield, letting you return a target permanent with a two-word name to its owner's hand. This mechanic creates unpredictable board states, reflecting the set's design philosophy of breaking traditional rules. The flavor text adds to the card's charm, poking fun at players who skip reading the rules, which is a clever nod to the game's complexity. For collectors, the foil finish adds a layer of visual appeal that stands out in a binder or display. It appeals to those looking to complete the full Unhinged collection or who enjoy the strategic depth of blue control decks. Whether you are building a competitive list or just gathering for the art and humor, this card offers a distinct piece of Magic history.
