Undying Evil

Description

Undying Evil, designated as card number 77 in the 2012 Dark Ascension expansion, is a black Instant card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Designed by Kev Walker, this card is a staple for players building decks focused on resurrection strategies and temporary creature buffs. As a common rarity, it serves as an accessible tool for manipulating the battlefield through the Undying mechanic. The card’s primary function is to grant a target creature the Undying ability until the end of the turn. This effect allows the creature to return to the battlefield under its owner's control with a +1/+1 counter if it dies while having no +1/+1 counters on it. This temporary boost is particularly useful in combat scenarios or for triggering abilities that care about creature death. The mana cost of one black mana makes it efficient to cast early in the game, allowing for quick responses to opponent threats or lasting damage. Collectors often seek out cards from the Dark Ascension set due to its connection to the Eldrazi storyline and the return of popular planeswalkers. Undying Evil fits into the broader theme of death and resurrection prevalent in the set. Whether you are looking to complete your collection or add a functional piece to your deck, understanding the card's mechanics and set context is key. The card remains a recognizable piece of Magic history, offering both gameplay utility and collectible value for fans of the black color identity.
