Turnabout

Description

Turnabout is card number 105 from the Urza's Saga expansion, released by Wizards of the Coast in 1998. As a member of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, this uncommon instant card provides players with a flexible tool for board control. The card’s text allows you to choose an artifact, creature, or land type and then either tap all untapped permanents of that type your opponent controls, or untap all tapped permanents of that type you control. This dual functionality makes it a staple for blue-based strategies that rely on tempo and resource management. Designed by Heather Hudson, the card represents a key moment in the game's early history, reflecting the design philosophy of the late 1990s where versatility and strategic depth were highly valued. Collectors often seek out cards from this era for their nostalgic value and the foundational role they played in shaping the competitive landscape of Magic: The Gathering. For those building a collection of Urza's Saga, Turnabout serves as an essential piece of the set's identity. Its blue mana cost and instant speed allow for timing flexibility, making it a recognizable and respected card among veteran players and new collectors alike. Whether you are looking to complete a set or add a classic control spell to your library, this card from the 1998 release holds a distinct place in the history of the game.
