Description
Abundance stands as one of the most sought-after control cards from the Urza's Saga expansion, released in 1998. Printed as a rare card numbered 229, this green enchantment fundamentally changed how players interact with their libraries during gameplay. Designed by Rebecca Guay, the card remains a staple in historical Magic: The Gathering collectibles due to its impactful rules text and enduring mechanical value. The card’s primary function allows a player to manipulate the top of their library. Instead of drawing a random card, the controller can choose to reveal cards until they find a specific type—either a land or a nonland card. This ability provides immense strategic flexibility, allowing players to find exactly what they need when they need it. This filtering mechanism is why the card continues to be highly valued by both competitive players and collectors who appreciate the depth of the early Urza block era. For collectors, the Urza's Saga set represents a pivotal moment in trading card game history. Abundance, with its distinct green mana cost of two generic and two green mana, exemplifies the powerful artifact-heavy environment of that time. Whether you are building a thematic collection of rare artifacts or seeking key pieces for a functional deck, this card is an essential component. Collecting cards from 1998 requires attention to detail and an appreciation for the game's evolution. Abundance is not just a piece of memorabilia; it is a functional tool that defined strategies for years. Its presence in any collection adds depth and historical context. For those interested in the intersection of gaming history and collectibility, this card remains a top choice. Browse our inventory to find your perfect copy of this legendary enchantment.

If you would draw a card, you may instead choose land or nonland and reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a card of the chosen kind. Put that card into your hand and put all other cards revealed this way on the bottom of your library in any order.
