Deadly Poison Sampler

Description

The 2017 Magic: The Gathering Unstable Deadly Poison Sampler is a rare foil artifact contraption card, numbered 174 in the set. Designed by Ralph Horsley, this piece features a distinct foil finish that catches the light, making it a visually striking addition to any collection. As an Artifact — Contraption, it occupies a unique niche within the game's complex mechanics, offering players a specialized strategic tool rather than a traditional creature or sorcery. The card's ability activates whenever you crank this Contraption. Upon activation, until the end of turn, a target creature gains a powerful triggered ability. If that creature deals combat damage to a player, it triggers a secondary effect that destroys a target creature controlled by that same player. This creates a potent removal option that relies on timing and board control, rewarding players who can effectively manage their contraption resources. The Deadly Poison Sampler exemplifies this spirit, offering a fun and interactive gameplay experience. Its foil treatment adds a layer of prestige, distinguishing it from non-foil versions and appealing to enthusiasts who seek out premium printings. For those building a comprehensive Unstable collection, this card is a key component, representing one of the set's more impactful contraption cards. It serves as a reminder of the creative freedom that defines the Un-sets, providing both mechanical depth and aesthetic appeal. Whether used in casual games or simply admired for its unique mechanics and finish, the Deadly Poison Sampler remains a memorable part of the Magic: The Gathering landscape.
