Undead Sprinter

Description

The Undead Sprinter, identified as card number 237, is a notable Rare creature within the 2024 Duskmourn: House of Horror expansion for Magic: The Gathering. Designed by Nino Vecia, this card represents the dark, horror-themed aesthetic that defines the set's narrative tone. As a two-mana Creature — Zombie with a power and toughness of 2/2, it offers immediate board presence while providing strategic depth through its hybrid abilities. The card’s mechanics allow players to cast it directly from the graveyard if a non-Zombie creature died earlier in the turn. When this condition is met, the Undead Sprinter enters the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter, enhancing its survivability and combat effectiveness. This recursion capability makes it a flexible tool for decks focused on sacrifice strategies or high-volume creature removal. Combined with the keywords Trample and Haste, the card ensures that even if it is not removed immediately, it can deal damage to the opponent on the turn it is played. Collectors and players alike appreciate the Undead Sprinter for its efficient mana cost and impactful rules text. The flavor text, referencing a character named Farley and the absence of cheering crowds, adds a layer of storytelling that complements the set’s immersive horror theme. Whether you are building a zombie-centric deck or simply looking to add a versatile, low-cost threat to your collection, this card from the DSK set is a valuable addition. Its design and functionality reflect the creative direction of the Duskmourn: House of Horror release, making it a standout piece for any Magic: The Gathering enthusiast.
