# Mana Tithe Mana Tithe is a humble white instant that counters a spell by having its controller pay one mana. Originally printed in Planar Chaos, it gained collector attention through the Strixhaven Mystical Archive, which reprinted classic spells with special frame treatments and extended art. Collectors value this version for its distinctive aesthetic rather than gameplay impact. The Mystical Archive printing offers three variants: standard nonfoil, foil, and etched foil, each with different visual presentations. The etched foil variant particularly appeals to collectors seeking alternative finishes. While not mechanically groundbreaking, Mana Tithe's Archive version represents the appeal of special treatments applied to recognizable Magic staples.
