Shiv's Embrace

Description

Shiv's Embrace, numbered 216, is a notable uncommon enchantment from Magic: The Gathering's 1998 Urza's Saga expansion. Designed by Bob Eggleton, this card belongs to the red mana color identity and functions as an Aura that attaches to a creature. Upon attachment, it grants the enchanted creature a +2/+2 power and toughness boost along with the flying ability, making it a potent offensive tool in early gameplay. Its activated ability allows players to sacrifice red mana to temporarily increase the creature's power by one until the end of the turn. Collectors often seek this card for its historical significance within the Urza block and its role in competitive formats during the late 1990s. The card's design reflects the distinctive aesthetic of the Urza's Saga era, appealing to both veteran players and new enthusiasts building their collections. For those completing the Urza's Saga set or exploring classic Magic strategy, Shiv's Embrace remains a key piece for any serious collection. Whether you are an investor looking for value in classic TCG cards or a player nostalgic for the Urza block, this card offers enduring appeal. The enduring legacy of Urza's Saga continues to draw collectors interested in the evolution of Magic: The Gathering mechanics and art.
