Item Lore

First printed in the 1998 Exodus set, Culling the Weak is a foundational card in Magic: The Gathering that demonstrates the game's long-standing focus on "mana acceleration" through resource sacrifice. While it is a common, its ability to provide a high return of mana at the cost of a creature has made it a persistent, high-utility staple in competitive combo decks across various formats.
