Description
Dread Summons, identified by card number 56 in the Commander Anthology, stands as a formidable black sorcery within Magic: The Gathering's rich history. Released in 2017, this Commander Anthology release was crafted specifically for the Commander format, focusing on powerful, game-altering effects that define legendary matches. The card features a mana cost of {X}{B}{B}, allowing players to scale its impact dynamically based on their available resources. When cast, it requires each player to mill cards from the top of their library, turning the graveyard into a resource rather than a discard pile. For every creature card that lands in the graveyard through this process, the caster creates a tapped 2/2 black Zombie creature token, rapidly expanding their board presence. This mechanic encourages strategic depth, rewarding players who build decks with synergistic graveyard interactions. Collectors often seek this card for its elegant design and potent gameplay utility in the Commander format. Whether you are looking to complete a set or add a strategic piece to your collection, this card represents a key moment in Magic: The Gathering's evolution of the Commander experience.

Each player mills X cards. For each creature card put into a graveyard this way, you create a tapped 2/2 black Zombie creature token. (To mill a card, a player puts the top card of their library into their graveyard.)
