Description
The Evernight Shade card, designated as number 101 in the 2012 Magic: The Gathering Avacyn Restored set, offers a distinct gameplay experience for collectors and players alike. Printed by Wizards of the Coast, this card is categorized under the Creature type with the subtype Shade. It carries an Uncommon rarity within the set, making it a notable addition to any focused collection of Avacyn Restored cards. The mana cost for this card is represented by three generic mana and one black mana symbol, resulting in a total mana value of four. It belongs to the black color identity, aligning with strategic themes common to that color in the trading card game. The strategic depth of the Evernight Shade lies in its unique abilities. It possesses a mana ability that allows players to spend one black mana to increase its power and toughness by one each until the end of the turn. More significantly, it features the Undying keyword ability. This mechanic ensures that when the creature dies, if it had no +1/+1 counters on it at that time, it returns to the battlefield under its owner's control with a +1/+1 counter on it. This recursive nature adds layers of complexity to deck building and in-game decision-making. The card was illustrated by Nic Klein, whose work contributes to the visual identity of the Avacyn Restored expansion. Collectors often seek out specific cards from this era due to the set's cohesive design and memorable mechanics. Whether you are building a themed deck or collecting the entire Avacyn Restored series, the Evernight Shade represents a key piece of this release.
