Description
The Commander Masters expansion, released in 2023, reimagines iconic Magic: The Gathering cards for the Commander format, and card number 197, Wake the Dead, stands out as a distinct foil rarity within this set. Designed by Christopher Moeller, this instant card carries a mana cost of {X}{B}{B} and belongs to the black color identity. Its unique restriction limits casting to combat during an opponent's turn, adding a strategic layer to gameplay that appeals to competitive and casual commanders alike. The effect allows players to return X target creature cards from their graveyard to the battlefield, with the caveat that these creatures must be sacrificed at the beginning of the next end step. For collectors, the foil treatment enhances the visual appeal, making it a desirable addition to any Magic: The Gathering trading card game collection. The card's design and mechanics reflect the innovative spirit of the Commander Masters series, which focuses on reprinted staples with unique treatments. Whether you are building a themed deck or curating a personal collection, this card represents a significant piece of modern TCG history. The combination of its strategic utility and aesthetic finish makes it a notable item for enthusiasts of the format.
