{"product_id":"natural-selection","title":"Natural Selection (Repaint)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNatural Selection\u003c\/em\u003e is a one mana green instant originally printed in \u003cem\u003eAlpha\u003c\/em\u003e (1993). It’s historically important as one of the very first “library manipulation” spells ever printed, and was a precursor to cards like \u003cem\u003ePonder\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eBrainstorm\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eSensei’s Divining Top\u003c\/em\u003e. You can look at the top three cards of any player’s library and you may arrange them or shuffle the library. Green doesn’t normally get this kind of effect; it’s a unique tool for a color that typically focuses on ramp or creatures. Natural Selection saw limited use in early Type 1 (Vintage) and Type 2 (Standard) decks. It represents Wizards early design experimentation with how much control players should have over randomness. Since \u003cem\u003eNatural Selection\u003c\/em\u003e is on the Reserved List, it will never be reprinted, and so this will remain its only version ever painted on a Magic backed card and disseminated to the masses for game play.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"artwhirled","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44762039287853,"sku":null,"price":0.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/8000\/6957\/files\/Natural_Selection_Repaint_front_a_white.jpg?v=1775127666","url":"https:\/\/artwhirled.com\/products\/natural-selection","provider":"Art Whirled","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
