Lore

Why it matters

Released in 1999 as part of the Urza's Legacy set, Last-Ditch Effort is an instant that highlights the aggressive, sacrifice-oriented playstyle common in red decks of that era. Its artwork by Dan Frazier captures the desperate, high-stakes nature of its effect, making it a recognizable piece of late-90s Magic: The Gathering history for those who enjoy the flavor and mechanics of early expansions.

What it does

Sacrifice any number of creatures. Last-Ditch Effort deals that much damage to any target.
