Plummet

Plummet is a quintessential green card in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, first appearing in the original Alpha set in 1993 and subsequently reprinted in the Core Set 2019 as card number 193. It was designed to provide the green color identity with a straightforward, effective way to interact with flying creatures, embodying the color's philosophy of grounding aerial threats to the forest floor. The card functions as a classic 'hate' spell, serving as a pillar of the game's color pie by ensuring that green decks are not entirely helpless against evasion-based strategies.

The 2019 edition features artwork by Igor Kieryluk, who depicted the act of a creature being forcefully brought down from the sky. The design reflects the typical functional aesthetic of Core Set cards, which prioritize clarity and core mechanics to serve as a baseline for both newer players and those drafting the set. Upon its release in this set, it was received as a reliable, essential sideboard inclusion for Limited formats, where removal spells for flying creatures are frequently at a premium.
