Tariff

# Tariff Tariff represents a curious artifact from Magic's early design philosophy, when the game experimented with unusual enchantments that punished specific strategies. As a rare from Classic Sixth Edition, it appeals primarily to collectors interested in the game's developmental history rather than competitive players. The card's niche appeal stems from its narrow application—it taxes opponents for playing artifacts, a mechanic that feels dated by modern standards. Collectors value it as a snapshot of how designers once approached metagame answers. The nonfoil-only status means there's no premium variant to chase, making acquisition straightforward for those seeking a complete set. It's the kind of card that matters more for historical completeness than individual significance.
