    Mox Pearl, first printed in Alpha (1993), is one of the original Power Nine – the most iconic and powerful cards in Magic’s history. As a free source of white mana, it enables some very fast openings, allowing decks to break normal tempo rules by developing mana and board presence simultaneously. Mox Pearl provides free acceleration and a tempo advantage in the early turns, all while giving you perfect color fixing for white spells. It has no drawback, which is why it’s considered one of the most efficient mana accelerants ever printed. Mox Pearl is restricted to one copy in Vintage, its primary competitive format, and is seen across many archetypes containing white mana. Because Moxen are universal accelerants, Mox Pearl appears in decks like Initiative Hatebear, Esper Lurrus, Paradoxical Outcome, Gifts Control, Jewel Shops, MUD, and Dimir Control. Essentially, if the deck has white in it, or wants to use as much fast mana acceleration as possible – it runs Mox Pearl. In Old School (93/94), tempo matters enormously, and Mox Pearl is one of the strongest cards you can open up a game with. It’s regularly included in decks such as White Weenie, UW Skies, Erhnamgeddon (GW midrange), and The Deck (5c-control). Mox Pearl is on the Reserved List, it will never be reprinted.
