Item Condition

Magic: The Gathering single: Lion's Eye Diamond, from Mirage. Our grade: Lightly Played or better. Pictured: this printing of the card. Every card ships triple-sleeved — a soft sleeve, a deck sleeve and a rigid top loader.

Item Description

Few cards in Magic's history are as dangerous for zero mana as Lion's Eye Diamond. It costs nothing to cast, and you can discard your hand and sacrifice it to add three mana of any one color, at instant speed. On paper that sounds like a terrible deal. In the right deck, it is a key that unlocks entire combos.

The trick is timing. Activate it with a spell already on the stack, or after you have already played out what you need, and the discard costs nothing at all. That is why LED became a cornerstone of storm combo decks and graveyard strategies: cast Infernal Tutor or Burning Wish, crack the Diamond in response, and you have an empty hand and three mana to follow up with. Auriok Salvagers turns it into an infinite-mana loop, and decks built around Yawgmoth's Will love the burst. Lion's Eye Diamond is also on Magic's Reserved List, a piece of the game's history in its own right.

This is the Mirage printing from 1996, collector number 307, illustrated by Margaret Organ-Kean, in non-foil. Its flavor text explains the name with a Zhalfirin saying, "Held in the lion's eye," meaning caught in the moment of crisis.
