# Scepter of Empires Scepter of Empires is a straightforward colorless artifact from Magic 2012 that appeals primarily to casual and Commander players. The card offers incremental value through repeatable effects—tapping to tap down an opponent's creature or land while building toward a more powerful activated ability. Collectors view it as a solid mid-tier uncommon without particular scarcity concerns. The foil version exists but carries minimal premium since the card never saw competitive play or developed a strong casual following. It's the kind of card that rounds out collection sets rather than drives collecting interest, though players who enjoy artifact-focused decks may appreciate having both versions on hand.
