Momentum

Description

Momentum is a green Aura enchantment from the 1999 Magic: The Gathering expansion Urza's Destiny. As card number 113, this uncommon foil card offers collectors a distinct piece of the late 90s artifact-heavy era. Designed by Carl Critchlow, the card is part of the Urza's Destiny set, which remains a foundational block for the game's lore and mechanics. The card functions as an Aura, meaning it must be attached to a creature to provide its effect. Its primary mechanic revolves around growth counters. During the controller’s upkeep, they may choose to place a growth counter on this Aura. For each growth counter present on the card, the enchanted creature receives a +1/+1 bonus to both its power and toughness. This design allows the card to grow progressively more powerful the longer it remains on the battlefield, rewarding strategic patience and long-term board presence. For collectors of Magic: The Gathering, the foil treatment adds a layer of visual appeal and historical significance. Momentum represents a classic design philosophy where incremental growth can lead to significant board control. Whether you are building a thematic deck focused on enchantment synergies or simply appreciate the historical design of the Urza saga, this card holds a specific place in the game's evolution. The combination of the uncommon rarity, the foil finish, and the unique counter mechanic makes it a noteworthy item for any comprehensive Magic: The Gathering collection.
