It’s one of the first cards to embody “balance through retribution”. Playing with this card meant that you could potentially turn a loss into a tie, or even a win if you made your opponent deal lethal damage to themselves. It has a big surprise value, as the opponent may hesitate to go all-in when you’re holding up two white mana. In early Old School Magic, white decks often used cards like \u003cem\u003eWrath of God\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eSwords to Plowshares\u003c\/em\u003e to control the board. \u003cem\u003eEye for an Eye\u003c\/em\u003e attacks opponents from a completely different angle, which could surprise them. If your opponent tried to burn you out with e.g. \u003cem\u003eFireball\u003c\/em\u003e, they could easily take themselves out instead. \u003cem\u003eEye for an Eye\u003c\/em\u003e is not on the Reserved List.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"artwhirled","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44762011500589,"sku":null,"price":0.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/8000\/6957\/files\/Eye_for_An_Eye_Original_Art_front_a_white.jpg?v=1775126484","url":"https:\/\/artwhirled.com\/products\/eye-for-an-eye-acrylics","provider":"Art Whirled","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
