"Birthday Escape" is a simple blue sorcery with a casting cost of {U}. When you cast this spell, you get to draw a card. However, the mention of "The Ring tempts you" adds a thematic element to the card, alluding to the allure of the One Ring and how it influenced the actions of its bearers, including Bilbo Baggins. The flavor text further reinforces the connection to Bilbo and his disappearance from Hobbiton after his eleventy-first birthday party, which was a pivotal moment in "The Lord of the Rings" narrative. The artwork by David Álvarez captures the mystique of the Ring and its power to change the fate of its wielders.
