Baleful Stare

# Baleful Stare Baleful Stare is an uncommon from Portal, Magic's introductory set designed for new players. The card represents a straightforward control effect—a creature-focused removal spell that fit Portal's simplified gameplay philosophy. Collectors view it primarily as a Portal set completion piece rather than a sought-after card in its own right. Portal's limited print run and niche status in the broader Magic community mean even common uncommons hold modest collector interest. The nonfoil-only status reflects Portal's original release before foil technology became standard. For set builders, Baleful Stare fills a necessary slot without commanding premium value, making it an accessible entry point for those assembling Portal collections.
