# Nature's Ruin Nature's Ruin is a Portal-era creature removal spell that appeals to collectors interested in Magic's early experimental sets. Portal cards occupy a unique niche—designed for new players with simplified mechanics, they're often overlooked by competitive collectors but valued by those pursuing complete set collections or Portal-specific portfolios. This uncommon represents the straightforward design philosophy of Portal: efficient, easy to understand, and functionally similar to cards that appeared elsewhere in Magic's history. Collectors typically view Portal cards as historically significant artifacts from Magic's attempt to broaden its audience, making them worth preserving despite their limited tournament relevance. The nonfoil version remains the only printing available.
