Lore

Why it matters

Excavation Explosion features the iconic imagery of the Sylex Blast, a pivotal event in Magic: The Gathering lore that ended the brutal conflict between the brothers Urza and Mishra. This sorcery captures a definitive moment in Dominarian history, serving as a functional piece that reflects the destructive power central to the aesthetic and narrative of The Brothers' War set.

Card face

What it does

Excavation Explosion deals 3 damage to any target. Create a tapped Powerstone token. (It's an artifact with "{T}: Add {C}. This mana can't be spent to cast a nonartifact spell.")

Urza's engineers could take weeks to dig out a powerstone. The goblins weren't so painstaking.
