Doomed Dissenter

Description

The Doomed Dissenter, designated as card number 87 in the Amonkhet set, is a distinct entry in Magic: The Gathering’s 2017 expansion. Released under the AKH set code, this common creature card offers collectors a tangible piece of the game’s rich lore and mechanical depth. Designed by artist Tony Foti, the card represents a pivotal narrative element within the Amonkhet block, reflecting the grim realities faced by those exiled from the city of the God-Pharaoh. Mechanically, the Doomed Dissenter serves as a foundational unit for players building decks focused on sacrifice strategies or token generation. As a two-mana creature with a power and toughness of 1/1, it provides an affordable way to apply early pressure while setting up future board states. When the creature leaves the battlefield, it triggers an effect that creates a 2/2 black Zombie creature token. This ability makes the card a staple in various archetypes that benefit from board presence and card advantage through recurring threats. Collectors often seek out this card to complete their Amonkhet set or to preserve a specific era of Magic: The Gathering history. Whether you are a seasoned player looking to expand your collection or a new enthusiast exploring the game’s vast universe, this card offers both aesthetic appeal and functional value.
