What it does

Choose one —

• Target player draws a card at the beginning of the next turn's upkeep.

• Target creature gains flying until end of turn.

• Target creature an opponent controls phases out. (While it's phased out, it's treated as though it doesn't exist. It phases in before its controller untaps during their next untap step.)

Provenance

Where it came from

Released in October 1996 as part of the Mirage expansion for Magic: The Gathering, the Sapphire Charm represents a pivotal moment in the game’s history. Mirage was the first set designed specifically to function as a standalone limited environment, shifting the game's focus toward more strategic, slower-paced interactions compared to the aggressive, high-speed nature of early sets like Alpha and Beta.

The card’s illustration was created by Steve Luke, who captured the ephemeral and tactical versatility of blue magic through a clean, mystical aesthetic. As an instant with three distinct modes—phasing out a creature, tapping an artifact, or granting flying—it was designed to provide players with a flexible tool for reactive play. It has long been regarded by players as a subtle, elegant piece of utility that exemplifies the sophisticated design philosophy introduced during the middle era of the game.
