Gameplay

Enchantment

Cumulative upkeep—Exile the top card of your library. (At the beginning of your upkeep, put an age counter on this permanent, then sacrifice it unless you pay its upkeep cost for each age counter on it.) When a player doesn't pay this enchantment's cumulative upkeep, that player exiles all cards from their library. Exile the top card of your library: Prevent the next 1 damage that would be dealt to you this turn.

If you don’t pay Thought Lash’s cumulative upkeep, you’ll sacrifice Thought Lash as normal, then, when its triggered ability resolves, you’ll exile all cards in your library.

This printing is one of 2 catalogued treatments from ALL — the lineup includes Nonfoil alongside the standard finish. Across our catalog the Rarix library tracks every variant in the same family so collectors can compare price, scarcity and demand inside a single lineage.

Card #39 of *Alliances*, the set that shipped alongside the June 1996 Alliances release.

Card type: Enchantment, color identity blue, printed at rare. Rares occupy the bottom-of-pack rare slot in standard boosters. Mana cost: {2}{U}{U} (4 converted). Keyword abilities: Cumulative upkeep.

Legal in Legacy, Vintage, and Commander. This printing is on Wizards of the Coast's Reserved List — Wizards has committed never to reprint cards on that list, which underwrites a structural scarcity floor on every surviving copy.

EDHrec ranks this card #12,912 in Commander, putting it in the fringe-play tier of the format's playable pool.
