# Confound Confound is a straightforward blue common from Planeshift that does what many players expect from its color: it counters a spell or redirects a creature's attack. The card represents functional simplicity in Magic's design, offering utility without complexity. Collectors appreciate commons from this era for their role in defining limited formats, though Confound itself doesn't carry particular prestige. The foil variant exists but holds minimal premium value compared to the nonfoil version, as is typical for commons. Most interest in Confound comes from set completion rather than individual card appeal. It's the kind of card that fills out collections without commanding attention, serving as a reminder of how Magic's commons provide the backbone of playable decks across formats.
