Slumbering Cerberus

Description

Slumbering Cerberus, designated as card number 94 in the 2024 Magic: The Gathering Foundations set, offers a distinct mechanical interaction for players and collectors of the trading card game. Illustrated by Kari Christensen, this Red Uncommon Creature belongs to the Dog subtype and carries a mana cost of {1}{R}. While its base power and toughness present a 4/2 stat line, the card’s strategic value lies in its unique interaction with the board state. The card begins as a tapped creature that does not untap during its controller's untap step, representing its slumbered state. However, it features the Morbid ability, which allows it to untap at the beginning of each end step if a creature died during the turn. This mechanic encourages players to build decks that prioritize creature sacrifice or removal, making Slumbering Cerberus a potential engine for aggressive or control strategies. For collectors, this card is a notable entry in the Foundations expansion, contributing to the diverse array of cards available for set completion. The flavor text hints at the creature's nature, noting that the third head eventually wakes, adding narrative depth to the collectible item.
