Item Lore

Shadow Rift, illustrated by Adam Rex for the 1997 Tempest set, remains a quintessential example of the "shadow" mechanic introduced during this era of Magic: The Gathering. By allowing a creature to bypass traditional combat, this common instant captures the set's focus on evasion and strategic positioning that defined gameplay in the late nineties.
