Oracle Text
Each attacking creature gets +1/+0 until end of turn for each nonbasic land defending player controls.
Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Mercadia’s Downfall is a sharply political combat trick that rewards the aggressive player for reading the table and striking where the mana base is greedy. In Magic: The Gathering, it best supports an aggro or tempo plan, especially in formats where opponents lean on multicolor decks full of nonbasic lands; suddenly your whole attack can swing from nuisance damage to a lethal burst. Because the bonus scales with each defending player’s nonbasic lands, it gets nastier in multiplayer and against decks packed with shocks, fetches, and utility lands. Pair it with evasive creatures, go-wide token decks, or menace/flying threats to make the extra power connect reliably, and consider effects that force or encourage attacks so you can turn a modest board into a surprise finisher. The card’s name evokes a city under siege, and mechanically it feels like punishing the stronghold’s infrastructure—every rare land becomes a liability when the assault begins.
