Odds // Ends

Odds // Ends is an artifact card featured in the Magic: The Gathering set known as The List. The List is a curated collection of cards reissued from the game's long history, designed to be inserted into set boosters as a way to provide players with access to older, iconic, or mechanically interesting cards that might otherwise be difficult to find. This specific card represents a split card—a mechanical innovation that allows players to choose one of two distinct effects on a single card, offering versatility in a wide variety of deck archetypes.

The card was originally released as part of the Dissension set in 2006, part of the Ravnica block. It was illustrated by artist Zoltan Boros and Gabor Szikszai, who were tasked with depicting the chaotic, eclectic nature of the Izzet League's experiments. The design was received favorably for its high skill ceiling and the clever interplay between its 'Odds' (a coin-flipping chance effect) and 'Ends' (a graveyard-reanimation effect), showcasing the quintessential frantic utility associated with the Izzet color identity.
