# Aura Shards Aura Shards is a functional workhorse from Invasion that appeals to collectors interested in efficient enchantment-based removal. The card's straightforward design—destroying target artifact or enchantment whenever a creature enters the battlefield—made it a format staple across multiple eras, which drives collector demand despite its uncommon rarity. Most collectors seek the nonfoil version for playability, though foil copies hold appeal for those building premium versions of decks featuring the card. The Invasion printing remains the most accessible, though its age means condition matters significantly. Collectors value Aura Shards as a genuine pillar of Magic design rather than a chase card, making it a reliable piece for those assembling comprehensive sets or themed collections.
