Product Overview

Description

This Legendary Artifact carries a mana cost of {3}{B}{B}{B} and has a mana value of 6. The card features artwork by Piotr Dura and carries the set code PWAR. As a foil promo, it displays a shimmering finish that distinguishes it from standard print runs. The card’s mechanics allow players to look at the top card of their library at any time. Players may also play lands and cast spells from the top of their library. When casting spells this way, the cost is paid in life equal to the spell’s mana value rather than its mana cost. Additionally, the card includes an ability that lets players sacrifice ten nonland permanents to make each opponent lose 10 life. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering often target this promo card for its distinctive foil treatment and its place in the War of the Spark Promos checklist. The card's unique interaction with the library and its powerful sacrifice effect make it a notable piece for enthusiasts of the game. The card remains a sought-after item for those building collections of promotional artifacts from the War of the Spark era.
