Refraction Trap

Description

This Magic: The Gathering trading card features the Refraction Trap illustration from the Worldwake expansion released in 2010. As card number 17 in the WWK series, this Uncommon rarity foil captures the strategic depth of the game's white mana color identity. The card is an Instant with the Trap subtype, offering a unique interaction where players can pay {W} instead of the full mana cost if an opponent cast a red instant or sorcery spell during the turn. The card also provides a defensive mechanism that prevents damage and redirects it to any target. Designed by Zoltan Boros & Gabor Szikszai, the foil treatment adds a distinct visual appeal for collectors of the Worldwake set. The mana value of 4 positions this card within a specific strategic framework of the game. Collectors often seek this card for its foil finish and its role in the Worldwake product line. The card's rules text emphasizes timing and resource management, key elements for enthusiasts of Magic: The Gathering. Owning this card allows collectors to complete their Worldwake collection or appreciate the foil variant's presentation.
