Description
The Unwavering Initiate is a foil Common creature card from the 2017 Magic: The Gathering Amonkhet set. Identified as card number 36 in the AKH set code, this Human Warrior creature brings strategic depth to deck construction with its unique graveyard interactions. In gameplay, the Unwavering Initiate serves as a versatile white creature with a mana cost of {2}{W} and a mana value of 3. As a Human Warrior, it possesses the Vigilance keyword, allowing it to block without tapping. Its most distinctive feature is the Embalm mechanic, which offers a powerful secondary utility. By paying {4}{W}, players can exile the card from their graveyard to create a token copy that functions as a white Zombie Human Warrior with no mana cost. This mechanic provides flexibility, turning a discarded card into a potential board presence when needed most. For collectors, the foil finish adds a layer of aesthetic appeal that distinguishes this print from its non-foil counterparts. Whether you are building a competitive deck that utilizes graveyard strategies or simply expanding your collection of Magic: The Gathering cards, the Unwavering Initiate represents a solid addition. Its combination of standard creature stats and the unique Embalm ability makes it a functional and collectible item within the broader Magic: The Gathering universe.
