Dark Intimations

Description

Dark Intimations, card number 128s from the 2017 Aether Revolt Promos set, is a rare foil sorcery in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Featuring artwork by Chase Stone, this card demands a mana cost of {2}{U}{B}{R}, requiring a significant investment of five mana across three colors to cast. Its high mana value reflects its powerful and versatile effects that impact both players' boards and graveyards. When played, each opponent must sacrifice a creature or planeswalker of their choice and then discard a card. In return, the caster returns a creature or planeswalker card from their own graveyard to their hand and draws a card, providing immediate card advantage and board recovery. The card also features a triggered ability linked to Bolas planeswalker spells. When you cast a Bolas planeswalker spell, you can exile Dark Intimations from your graveyard to put that planeswalker onto the battlefield with an additional loyalty counter. This synergy makes the card particularly interesting for decks built around the Urza or Tamiyo planeswalker legends, although the text specifically references Bolas. The card allows you to return a creature or planeswalker card from your graveyard to your hand and draw a card, and exiles itself when you cast a Bolas planeswalker spell to put an additional loyalty counter on that planeswalker. This card is a foil promo from the Aether Revolt Promos set, numbered 128s. Understanding the card's specific rules text and mana requirements is essential for any player evaluating its potential in constructed formats.
