Inferno Trap

Description

Released in 2009 as part of the Zendikar expansion, Inferno Trap is an Instant card with the Trap subtype. Designated as card number 133 in the set, this Uncommon rarity card features a distinct foil finish that appeals to enthusiasts of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. The card’s mana cost is {3}{R}, and it operates as a red spell with a mana value of 4. Its unique mechanic allows players to pay an alternative cost of {R} if they have been dealt damage by two or more creatures during the turn, rather than paying the full mana cost. Upon resolution, the card deals 4 damage to a target creature. This mechanic defines its role within the game's strategy. Collectors value this piece for its specific treatment and its place in the 2009 Zendikar catalog. The artist Philip Straub created the imagery for this release. For those building a comprehensive collection of Zendikar cards, this foil variant offers a distinct visual and mechanical identity. The card remains a notable entry for hobbyists interested in the evolution of trap mechanics and red instant spells from this era.
