Dark Intimations

Description

Released in 2017 as part of the Aether Revolt Promos set, Dark Intimations (card number 128s) is a foil Magic: The Gathering trading card designed by artist Chase Stone. This sorcery card commands a mana cost of {2}{U}{B}{R} with a mana value of 5, requiring a multi-colored investment of blue, black, and red mana to cast. Its design and mechanics offer a distinct strategic layer for players interested in graveyard-centric strategies. The card’s primary effect allows the caster to exert significant board control. Upon resolution, each opponent must sacrifice a creature or planeswalker of their choice and then discard a card. Simultaneously, the caster can return a creature or planeswalker card from their graveyard to their hand and draw a card, providing immediate value and card advantage. This dual function makes it a potent tool for disrupting opponents while rebuilding resources. A unique secondary ability further enhances its appeal among collectors and players alike. When a Bolas planeswalker spell is cast, Dark Intimations can be exiled from the graveyard to enter that planeswalker into play with an additional loyalty counter. This interaction highlights the card’s specific synergy with certain high-value planeswalkers, adding depth to its utility beyond its initial sorcery effect. As a foil variant from a promotional set, it holds a special place for enthusiasts seeking to complete specific collections or appreciate the intricate gameplay possibilities of the Aether Revolt era.
