This printing is one of 2 catalogued treatments from TMP — 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 #213 of *Tempest*, the set that shipped alongside the October 1997 Tempest release.

Card type: Enchantment, color identity green, printed at rare. Rares occupy the bottom-of-pack rare slot in standard boosters. Mana cost: {2}{G}{G} (4 converted).

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 #9,365 in Commander, putting it in the niche-pick tier of the format's playable pool.
