Item ConditionChoose from 2 versions of this card in the list — each is listed by its finish and style. Our grade: Near Mint, for every version. Pictured: these printings of the ca rd. Every card ships triple-sleeved — a soft sleeve, a deck sleeve and a rigid top loader.Item DescriptionDraw two, discard two, then do it all again later from the graveyard. On paper Faithless Looting costs you cards; in the right deck it is one of the most explosive one-mana spells in Magic. Reanimator players use it to pitch a huge creature on the first turn and bring it straight back, while flashback, madness and other graveyard strategies treat every discarded card as a resource rather than a loss.That is why the card has had such an eventful life since its Dark Ascension debut in 2012. The flashback cost of two generic plus one red means a single copy digs through four cards over a game, and in Commander it fuels graveyard commanders, enables madness and turns lands you no longer need into fresh draws. Strixhaven's English flavor text fits the shady reputation perfectly, with Lorehold's dean Plargg asking how you got your hands on that before deciding he would rather not know.This listing offers two Strixhaven Mystical Archive printings, both borderless: the Japanese alternate-art version, collector number 101, illustrated by Shiro Yayoi, in foil-etched; and the showcase version, collector number 38, illustrated by Carly Mazur, in non-foil. The Mystical Archive gathered famous instants and sorceries from across Magic's history into Strixhaven boosters, and the Japanese alternate-art versions are a favorite chase for collectors. Show more
