Item Condition

Magic: The Gathering single: Ashnod's Altar, from The Brothers' War. Our grade: Near Mint. Pictured: this printing of the card. Every card ships triple-sleeved — a soft sleeve, a deck sleeve and a rigid top loader.

Item Description

Sacrifice a creature, add two colorless mana. Ashnod's Altar has been doing exactly that since Antiquities in 1994, and that one line has powered countless combo turns. There is no tap symbol, so you can activate it as many times as you have creatures to feed it, converting a board of tokens into a burst of mana in a single turn.

In Commander it is a pillar of aristocrats and sacrifice decks. Pair it with death triggers to drain the table, with token makers that keep refilling the board, or with creatures that return from the graveyard, and loops start forming quickly. It is also a free sacrifice outlet you can use at any moment, letting you cash in a creature that is about to be exiled or stolen for mana instead. The flavor text captures Ashnod perfectly, with Mishra's inventor explaining to Tawnos what you learn about joints and nerves from sawing up carcasses.

This is The Brothers' War Retro Artifacts printing, collector number 4, illustrated by Greg Staples, in foil. The Retro Artifacts collection brought classic artifacts tied to the Urza and Mishra saga back in the old-border frame of Magic's early years, a perfect home for one of the war's most notorious inventions.
