If you have no cards in hand, you still have to name a card. Then you fail to reveal one (since there aren’t any). Since the named card wasn’t revealed, no damage is dealt.

Context

Last observed on Scryfall 2 months ago at $5.93. Over the trailing 90 days the price moved between $5.59 and $10.90 across 53 observations. Cross-checked across TCGplayer, eBay sold, Cardmarket EU, and Star City.

This printing is one of 2 catalogued treatments from WC99 — 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 #js281 of *World Championship Decks 1999*, the set that shipped alongside the August 1999 World Championship Decks 1999 release.

Card type: Artifact, printed at rare. Rares occupy the bottom-of-pack rare slot in standard boosters. Mana cost: {1} (1 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 #26,339 in Commander, putting it in the fringe-play tier of the format's playable pool.
