Item Condition

Magic: The Gathering single: Force of Will. Alliances, non-foil, Lightly Played. Pictured: this printing of the card. Every card ships triple-sleeved — a soft sleeve, a deck sleeve and a rigid top loader.

Item Description

Five mana for a counterspell sounds like a bad deal until you read the alternative cost. Force of Will lets you pay 1 life and exile a blue card from your hand instead, then counter target spell: any spell, on any turn, with every land tapped. That one line of text has shaped how blue decks are built and how their opponents play against them ever since, because the player with no mana open may still be holding the answer.

Its reputation was earned in Magic's oldest formats. For decades Legacy and Vintage blue decks have leaned on Force of Will as insurance against turn-one combo kills and early threats, and deckbuilders count their blue cards partly to make sure they have something to pitch to it. In high-powered Commander it does the same job, stopping a game-ending spell no matter how far behind on mana you are. Few cards change the feel of a game simply by possibly being in someone's hand.

Force of Will began in Alliances, the 1996 expansion in the Ice Age block, and this is that original printing: collector number 28, an uncommon illustrated by Terese Nielsen, in non-foil. Owning the first printing of a card that has defined blue strategy for three decades connects a deck or binder to a formative era of the game, a time before premium foils and alternate frames, when the cards that mattered most came out of ordinary booster packs.
