{"product_id":"urzas-mitre","title":"Urza's Mitre (Original Art)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eUrza’s Miter\u003c\/em\u003e comes from \u003cem\u003eAntiquities\u003c\/em\u003e (1994), Magic’s first fully themed expansion, centered around artifacts and the war between Urza and Mishra. The “miter” is a ceremonial headpiece symbolizing Urza’s wisdom and power, and the card’s effect reflects that – gaining knowledge (card draw) when his creations fall in battle. It was Magic’s experiment with artifact recursion and card advantage. Drawing cards when artifacts died was unusual at the time, especially since \u003cem\u003eAntiquities\u003c\/em\u003e had so many artifacts that were meant to be destroyed or self-sacrificing (e.g. \u003cem\u003eFeldon’s Cane, Su-Chi\u003c\/em\u003e). \u003cem\u003eUrza’s Miter\u003c\/em\u003e is a slow, conditional draw engine – paying three mana each time an artifact dies is quite a big cost, but in 1994, any repeatable source of card advantage was noteworthy. While it’s never really been a competitive card, it has an important historical value. It’s part of \u003cem\u003eAntiquities\u003c\/em\u003e “Urza’s” artifact suite, which included \u003cem\u003eUrza’s Tower, Urza’s Power Plant, Urza’s Mine, Urza’s Chalice\u003c\/em\u003e, and others. It reflects early Magic’s fascination with artifacts as storytelling devices. In Old School (93\/94), \u003cem\u003eUrza’s Miter\u003c\/em\u003e is sometimes included in casual artifact control decks or \u003cem\u003eUrza’s Tower\u003c\/em\u003e “Big Artifact” builds – playing card like \u003cem\u003eMishra’s Factory, Su-Chi, Juggernaut\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eTriskelion\u003c\/em\u003e. This card is on the Reserved List.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"artwhirled","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44762013564973,"sku":null,"price":0.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/8000\/6957\/files\/Urzas_Mitre_Original_Art_front_a_white.jpg?v=1775126557","url":"https:\/\/artwhirled.com\/products\/urzas-mitre","provider":"Art Whirled","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
