Summoner's Bane

Description

Collectors of Magic: The Gathering often seek out cards from the Zendikar set released in 2009 for their distinct artwork and strategic depth. This product is the Uncommon rarity card known as Summoner's Bane, designated by the number 71 in the ZEN set code. It features a foil finish that catches the light, appealing to those who value both gameplay utility and aesthetic presentation. As an Instant card with a mana cost of {2}{U}{U}, Summoner's Bane provides a versatile interaction tool for players controlling blue mana. The card's effect allows the caster to counter a target creature spell, halting an opponent's advance. Simultaneously, it rewards the player by creating a 2/2 blue Illusion creature token, maintaining board presence despite the counter effect. This dual nature makes it a staple in decks focused on resource management and control. The flavor text, attributed to Jace Beleren, adds narrative weight, hinting at the strategic mindset of the plane's most renowned planeswalker. For collectors, cards like this represent a tangible piece of Magic's history during a pivotal era of expansion. Whether you are building a library for competitive play or curating a collection of foil uncommons, this card offers enduring appeal.
