Description
Ghitu Encampment, identified as card number 141, is a notable uncommon land card from the 1999 Magic: The Gathering expansion Urza's Legacy. Designed by artist Don Hazeltine, this card belongs to the red color identity and offers a unique mechanical twist for collectors and players alike. Unlike standard lands that simply produce mana, Ghitu Encampment allows its owner to sacrifice its land status to become a 2/1 red Warrior creature with first strike. This transformation persists until the end of the turn, providing flexibility in combat scenarios while still retaining its land type. The card enters the battlefield tapped, requiring careful timing for its initial mana production. For enthusiasts of the Urza's Legacy set, this card represents a clever design choice that blends resource generation with temporary offensive capability. It remains a favorite among those who appreciate the strategic depth and historical context of late 1990s Magic: The Gathering releases. Collectors often seek this card for its distinctive ability and its role in the broader Urza's Saga storyline. Whether for building vintage decks or completing a Urza's Legacy collection, Ghitu Encampment stands out for its dual nature. The card's enduring appeal lies in its ability to surprise opponents and add variety to red mana bases. Its status as an uncommon in a highly sought-after set makes it a staple for serious collectors of the format.
