Whenever a land enters, this artifact deals 2 damage to that land's controller.

Where it came from
The Ankh of Mishra originated in the Alpha set of Magic: The Gathering in 1993, designed by Richard Garfield as part of the game's foundational mechanics. It represents a powerful artifact that punishes players for expanding their land base, embodying the high-risk, high-reward philosophy of early card design. The card was illustrated by Quinton Hoover, whose distinct, ornate style became a hallmark of the game's aesthetic identity during its formative years.
The Classic Sixth Edition printing, released in 1999, served as a major rules-defining moment for the game. As part of this core set, the Ankh of Mishra retained its original art by Hoover, bridging the gap between the game's earliest iterations and its modern tournament structure. While the card is no longer a staple in competitive formats, it remains a nostalgic piece for long-time players who recall its effectiveness in controlling aggressive deck strategies.
