Dearly Departed (Card Number 84) is a Rare creature from the Magic: The Gathering Commander 2020 set (Set Code C20). This white Spirit creature costs {4}{W}{W} to cast and boasts a mana value of 6 with 5 power and 5 toughness. The card features artwork by Daniel Ljunggren and includes flavor text attributed to Mikaeus, the Lunarch, emphasizing the importance of remembering ancestors. In gameplay, Dearly Departed possesses the flying keyword, allowing it to bypass ground-based blockers. Its primary strategic value lies in its static ability: as long as this card resides in your graveyard, each Human creature you control enters the battlefield with an additional +1/+1 counter. This mechanic significantly boosts the durability and presence of Human tribal decks, turning your graveyard into a source of continuous board advantage. Collectors and players who build Human-focused Commander decks often look for this card to enhance their creature's resilience and impact. The card is part of the Commander 2020 expansion, a product designed to support the popular singleton format. Its white color identity aligns it with themes of life, order, and community, which are reflected in the Human subtype synergy. Its design and mechanics make it a functional piece for any Magic: The Gathering trading card game collection focused on graveyard interactions and creature synergy.
