Lore

Why it matters

Kataki, War's Wage serves as a classic example of a tax effect in Magic: The Gathering, punishing opponents for fielding large numbers of artifacts. Originally appearing in Saviors of Kamigawa, this specific printing from Mystery Booster 2 features updated art by Matt Thompson, making it a distinct variant sought after by players who appreciate both its strategic utility and its revised aesthetic.
