# Obzedat, Ghost Council Obzedat represents a key moment when Magic's design embraced repeatable evasion and incremental value. The card's phasing mechanic creates a unique gameplay pattern—it repeatedly leaves and returns to the battlefield, dodging removal while generating consistent advantage. Collectors appreciate it as a functional rare that saw genuine constructed play across multiple formats. The Modern Masters 2017 printing matters because it's a reprint in a limited set, making foil copies moderately scarce. Collectors typically view this version as the accessible middle ground between the original Return to Ravnica printing and later versions. The foil variant holds collector interest due to the set's print run constraints, though both versions remain reasonably available compared to chase rares from the same release.
