Subversion

Description

Subversion, numbered 68 in the Urza's Legacy expansion, is a black enchantment that was released in 1999 by Wizards of the Coast. This card requires three generic mana and two black mana to cast, placing it at a mana value of five. Once on the battlefield, it creates a recurring effect during the controller's upkeep: opponents lose 1 life, and the controller gains an equal amount of life. This continuous life transfer mechanism makes it a strategic tool for attrition-based strategies. As a rare card from the Urza's Legacy subset, it holds significance for collectors of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. The card's design and mechanics reflect the era's focus on powerful, recurring enchantments. Collectors often seek Subversion to complete their Urza's Legacy collections or to add a functional piece to their vintage decks. Its enduring presence in the collector market is due to its unique ability and historical place in the game's development.
