Skullbriar, the Walking Grave

Description

Skullbriar, the Walking Grave, identified as card number 277 in the Double Masters 2022 set, is a Legendary Zombie Elemental in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Released in 2022, this card carries a mana cost of {B}{G} and a mana value of two, making it a low-cost creature option for players building decks that utilize both black and green mana sources. As a Rare rarity card, Skullbriar enters the battlefield with the Haste ability, allowing it to attack or use tap abilities the turn it is cast. Its primary strength lies in its second ability: whenever it deals combat damage to a player, it receives a +1/+1 counter. Crucially, these counters remain on the creature even if it moves to any zone other than a player's hand or library, such as the graveyard or exile. This retention mechanic ensures that the creature's power persists across game phases, offering strategic depth for commanders or formats where reanimation is viable. The card's type line classifies it as a Legendary Creature — Zombie Elemental, combining the thematic elements of undead decay with elemental resilience. Its power and toughness start at 1/1, meaning its combat effectiveness scales directly with the damage it deals to opponents. Skullbriar, the Walking Grave is card number 277 in the 2022 Double Masters 2022 set. The artwork for this print is by Nils Hamm, contributing to the visual identity of the 2X2 set code. The card features the Haste ability and a triggered ability that places +1/+1 counters on it when it deals combat damage to a player.
