# Earthquake Earthquake from Unlimited Edition represents a pivotal moment in Magic's design history as one of the format's first symmetrical damage effects. Collectors value this card primarily for its role in early competitive play and deck construction rather than scarcity alone. The Unlimited printing is more accessible than its Alpha counterpart, making it an entry point for collectors building vintage collections. Earthquake's straightforward power—dealing damage to all creatures and players—established a template that Magic would revisit repeatedly. For vintage enthusiasts, owning a copy connects directly to the game's foundational metagame. The nonfoil Unlimited version remains the standard collector target, offering historical significance without the premium pricing of earlier printings.
