This printing is one of 2 catalogued treatments from VIS — 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 #137 of *Visions*, the set that shipped alongside the February 1997 Visions release.

Card type: Enchantment, color identity black/green, printed at rare. Rares occupy the bottom-of-pack rare slot in standard boosters. Mana cost: {B}{G} (2 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 #5,383 in Commander, putting it in the niche-pick tier of the format's playable pool.
