Description
Gate to the Afterlife arrives as card number 130 in the 2025 Magic: The Gathering Aetherdrift Commander subset, designed by Christine Choi. As an artifact card with a mana cost of three, it serves as a pivotal piece for players building decks focused on graveyard synergy. The card triggers whenever a nontoken creature you control dies, allowing you to gain life and optionally draw a card while discarding another. This balanced resource exchange helps maintain board presence while fueling your hand. The card’s secondary ability offers a powerful late-game play. By sacrificing this artifact and paying two mana, you can search your graveyard, hand, or library for a copy of God-Pharaoh's Gift. This effect is restricted to situations where six or more creature cards reside in your graveyard, encouraging strategic planning and deck construction. For Magic: The Gathering collectors, this card represents a key component in the Aetherdrift expansion, appealing to those who appreciate complex interactions and thematic depth. The inclusion of Christine Choi's artwork adds visual appeal, making it a desirable addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection. Whether you are building a competitive deck or curating a set, Gate to the Afterlife provides both mechanical intrigue and collectible value.
