Dread Shade

Description

This product features the Dread Shade from the Magic: The Gathering 2018 Dominaria Promos set. Identified by card number 88s and set code PDOM, this Rare creature belongs to the Shade subtype. The card requires three black mana ({B}{B}{B}) to cast and enters the battlefield as a 3/3 creature. The Dread Shade includes a single activated ability allowing a player to pay one black mana to give it +1/+1 until end of turn. This mechanic provides flexible power for combat situations. The card was illustrated by G-host Lee, whose artwork accompanies the text referencing the Caligo Morass and the Vess estate from the Dominaria plane. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading cards often target promotional variants for their distinct finishes and specific set origins. The foil treatment on this 2018 release distinguishes it from standard print runs. As a promo from the Dominaria block, this card holds a specific place in the broader history of the game's expansions. The card's black color identity and creature type make it a recognizable part of the Magic ecosystem. Its promotional status and foil finish appeal to those who appreciate the visual differences between standard and special edition cards. The card's specific attributes, including its mana cost and power/toughness, remain consistent across all copies of this product.
