Description
Designed by Luca Zontini, this card carries the distinct WC01 set code and is classified as a Rare, marking it as a significant piece of Magic: The Gathering history. The card requires a mana cost of {2}{B}{B} and features a mana value of 4, demanding careful resource management to cast effectively. In play, Persecute allows the controller to choose a color, compelling a target player to reveal their hand and discard all cards of that chosen color. This mechanic creates significant disruption, forcing opponents to rethink their strategy and potentially breaking their planned combinations. The card’s flavor text, "I want every last one of these tree-hugging, earth-loving, pointy-eared weaklings out of here. Now!", adds a layer of personality that resonates with fans of the game’s lore. Collectors often seek out this card to complete their World Championship Decks sets or to appreciate its role in the evolution of Magic’s card design. The enduring appeal of Persecute lies in its straightforward yet powerful effect, making it a valuable addition to any collection of vintage trading card game items.
