Bereavement

Description

Bereavement is a black Enchantment from the 1998 Magic: The Gathering expansion Urza's Saga, identified as card number 117. Designed with a mana cost of {1}{B} and a mana value of 2, this card introduces a strategic layer to gameplay by affecting opponents who field green creatures. When any green creature dies, the controller of that creature is forced to discard a card, making it a disruptive tool in decks focused on color interaction or creature removal. The card’s flavor text, attributed to Gix, a Yawgmoth praetor, reads, "Grief is as useless as love." This quote adds narrative depth to the card, reflecting the dark themes prevalent in the Urza's Saga storyline. The artwork was created by Andrew Goldhawk, whose style contributes to the distinct visual identity of the Urza's Saga set. Collectors often seek out cards from this era due to their historical significance in the Magic: The Gathering universe and the intricate design elements that define the set. For players and collectors, Bereavement represents a specific moment in the game's evolution, offering both mechanical utility and thematic resonance. Its Uncommon rarity makes it accessible for building themed collections while retaining enough strategic value to be interesting in gameplay. Whether you are completing a set, exploring the lore of the Urza's Saga, or simply appreciating the card's design, Bereavement remains a notable entry in the Magic: The Gathering catalog.
