Vance's Blasting Cannons // Spitfire Bastion

Description

The 2017 XLN Treasure Chest release features the foil version of card number 173, Vance's Blasting Cannons // Spitfire Bastion, a Legendary Enchantment from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This rare card utilizes a transform layout, allowing players to switch from its initial state to Spitfire Bastion after casting three spells in a single turn.

Collectors appreciate this card for its dual-sided nature and the visual contrast between its two states. The foil treatment adds a premium finish, making it a standout piece for those building themed collections or seeking rare variants from the XLN Treasure Chest subset.
