Description
Deathlace is a notable card from Magic: The Gathering's 1993 Unlimited Edition, carrying the set code 2ED and catalog number 102. Designed by Sandra Everingham, this rare Instant card requires only a single black mana to cast, making it an accessible tool in the black mana pool. The card’s effect allows players to target a spell or permanent, causing it to become black while leaving its mana symbols and other properties unchanged. This unique interaction has made it a staple for collectors interested in the strategic depth of early Magic: The Gathering design. As a key piece of the original Unlimited Edition, Deathlace represents the foundational mechanics that defined the Trading Card Game's early years. Collectors often seek this card to complete their 2ED sets or to explore the historical evolution of color-changing effects in the game. Its rarity and place in Magic history make it a valuable addition to any serious collection of vintage Magic: The Gathering cards.
