Description
The Dread Presence (Card Number 96p) is a rare Nightmare creature featured in the Magic: The Gathering Core Set 2020 Promos series, released in 2019. Designed by artist Anthony Palumbo, this black mana card carries a mana cost of {3}{B} and possesses a mana value of 4. As a 3/3 power and toughness unit, it serves as a compelling addition to any Magic: The Gathering trading card game collection, particularly for enthusiasts of the Black color identity. Collectors often appreciate this card for its distinct rules text, which activates whenever a Swamp you control enters the battlefield. Players can choose between drawing a card and losing 1 life, or dealing 2 damage to any target while gaining 2 life. This flexible effect makes it a favorite for strategic deck-building and set completion. The Core Set 2020 Promos release provides a specific set code (PM20) that helps identify this print among other variations. Whether you are focusing on completing the PM20 subset or building a competitive black deck, the Dread Presence offers significant mechanical value and aesthetic appeal.
