Sporogenic Infection

Description

The 2024 Magic: The Gathering set Duskmourn: House of Horror introduced a unique horror-themed aesthetic to the trading card game, with card #117, Sporogenic Infection, standing out as a compelling black mana option. Released as part of the DSK set, this print features a foil finish that enhances its visual appeal for collectors who appreciate the tactile quality of shimmering card surfaces. Designed by Warren Mahy, the card represents a distinct moment in the game's evolving art direction during this era. For players and collectors alike, Sporogenic Infection offers strategic depth as an Enchantment — Aura. It requires a mana cost of {1}{B} and has a mana value of 2, making it an efficient inclusion in decks focused on black mana. The card’s ability to force a target player to sacrifice a creature of their choice other than the enchanted one provides a powerful interaction that resonates with fans of disruptive gameplay. Additionally, the secondary effect that destroys the enchanted creature when it is dealt damage adds another layer of tactical consideration for those building their collections. Collectors often seek out foil versions of cards from major expansions like Duskmourn: House of Horror because the finish distinguishes the card from standard prints. This foil treatment catches the light differently, making it a desirable addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection. The card number #117 places it within the structured numbering of the set, allowing enthusiasts to track their progress as they build comprehensive sets. Whether you are a long-time fan of the game or new to the hobby, adding this enchantment to your roster highlights the blend of artistic design and mechanical innovation that defines Magic: The Gathering.
