Unholy Strength

Description

Unholy Strength is a black Enchantment — Aura card from the 2014 Duel Decks Anthology: Divine vs. Demonic set in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Identified by card number 47 and the set code DVD, this common rarity card serves as a straightforward yet effective tool for decks focused on black mana strategies. Designed by Terese Nielsen, the card offers collectors a tangible piece of the Anthology series, which repackaged classic Duel Deck matchups for modern play and collection. In gameplay, Unholy Strength functions as an Aura that attaches to a creature you control. Once enchanted, it grants the attached creature a static ability to receive a +2/+1 boost to its power and toughness. This enhancement makes it a valuable inclusion for strategies that rely on aggressive creature attacks or need to ensure a key unit survives combat. The card’s low mana cost of one black mana makes it accessible early in the game, allowing players to deploy it quickly without disrupting their resource curve. Unholy Strength represents the Demonic side’s approach to enhancing creature strength through dark magic. The flavor text, "Such power grows the body as it shrinks the soul," hints at the card’s thematic origin, adding depth to its physical presence in a collection. Whether you are building a competitive deck or curating a library of Magic: The Gathering staples, Unholy Strength offers a blend of mechanical utility and aesthetic appeal. Its inclusion in The catalog ensures that collectors can access this card from the 2014 release, maintaining the integrity of the set for those who value complete Anthology collections. The card’s enduring relevance in various formats highlights the timeless design of early Aura enchantments, making it a sought-after item for enthusiasts of the game’s history.
