# Sunglasses of Urza Sunglasses of Urza represents a curious artifact from Magic's earliest days, when the game's design philosophy still embraced experimental mechanics. As a rare from Limited Edition Alpha, it carries historical weight simply by existing in that foundational set, though it never saw meaningful competitive play. Collectors value it primarily as a piece of Magic's design evolution rather than for gameplay relevance. The card exemplifies how early designers tested unusual effects that didn't survive into the broader metagame. For Alpha collectors, completing a set means acquiring cards like this regardless of power level. Its nonfoil status is standard for the era, making condition and centering the practical concerns for serious collectors seeking high-grade copies.
