The Sound of Drums

Description

The Sound of Drums is card number 702 from the 2023 Magic: The Gathering Doctor Who set, a collectible foil Rare Enchantment Aura designed by Alexandr Leskinen. This card brings a distinct strategic element to the game through its specific mana cost of {2}{R} and a mana value of 3. As a red card, it fits seamlessly into decks focusing on aggressive strategies and creature combat. The card functions as an Aura enchantment that attaches to a creature, granting it the goaded ability. This mechanic forces opposing creatures to attack the enchanted unit, providing tactical control during battles. Additionally, the card features a powerful combat modifier: if the enchanted creature deals combat damage to a permanent or player, it deals double that damage instead. This effect significantly increases the card's potential impact in single-turn bursts or extended engagements. Beyond its combat utility, The Sound of Drums includes a recurring value ability. By paying {2}{R}, players can return the card from their graveyard to their hand, allowing for repeated use throughout the match. This recursion capability makes it a resilient piece for collectors and players alike who appreciate cards with lasting strategic depth. The foil finish adds a layer of visual appeal, making it a standout addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection. Whether you are building a Doctor Who-themed deck or simply collecting unique foils from the set, this card offers both aesthetic and mechanical value.
