Oath of Mages

# Oath of Mages Oath of Mages represents an interesting moment in Magic's design history, appearing during Exodus when the game was still experimenting with enchantment-based effects. Collectors view this card primarily through a set-completion lens rather than as a sought-after piece, since it never achieved significant constructed play. The card's mechanical identity—a symmetrical effect that affects both players—reflects design philosophy from that era before such effects became more carefully balanced. As a rare from the mid-1990s, it holds value mainly for Exodus collectors and those pursuing complete sets from that block. The nonfoil-only status is standard for the period, making variants a non-issue for this particular card.
