Nemesis Magic The Gathering Cards
Nemesis is the second set in the Mercadian Masques block of cards of
Magic: The Gathering, along with the expansions Mercadian Masques and
Prophecy. Its expansion symbol is an Axe.
Nemesis had a fair share of cards appear in well-placing tournament
decks. Many of the cards with Fading were quite powerful; the cards
Parallax Wave, Parallax Tide, Blastoderm, Saproling Burst, and Tangle
Wire all appeared in decks in various formats.
Nemesis utilized the fading mechanic:
Fading - As a card with fading comes into play, its controller
puts a number of fade counters on it (as specified on the card). At the
beginning of its controller's upkeep, that player would remove one
counter, unless there were no counters to remove, in which case the
card is sacrificed. Cards with fading (e.g., Blastoderm) would normally
be considered over-powered without the addition of the ability, and
forced the player to use the cards hastily, thus lending fading
naturally to large creature.
In Nemesis, new Rebels & Mercenaries were added to the
Mercadian Masques repertoire, such as Lin Sivvi, Defiant Hero, which
dominated a block constructed Pro Tour before it was banned.
The Seals were a cycle of enchantments that reproduced the effect
of instant with that same mana cost, but laid in play ready to trigger.
Two of them (Seal of Fire, Seal of Doom) were later reprinted in
Dissension.
