Moaning Wall

Description

Moaning Wall, card number 72 in the Hour of Devastation expansion, is a distinctive black creature in Magic: The Gathering. Released in 2017, this common card offers collectors a tangible piece of the set's Egyptian-inspired aesthetic. The foil treatment adds a shimmering quality to the card, distinguishing it from the standard nonfoil printings in the same set. As a Creature — Zombie Wall, Moaning Wall possesses a Power and Toughness of 0/5. Its primary defensive capability is the Defender keyword, which restricts the creature from attacking unless it has been under its controller's control continuously since the beginning of their most recent turn. This mechanical trait makes it a staple for defensive strategies, providing a durable block that protects the player's life total. Beyond its defensive utility, the card features the Cycling ability. For two black mana, a player can discard Moaning Wall from their hand to draw a new card. This provides significant card advantage and flexibility, allowing players to cycle out the defender when it is no longer needed or to find better plays early in the game. This dual nature—offering both board presence and hand disruption—makes it a versatile tool in various deck archetypes. The artwork for Moaning Wall was created by Piotr Jabłoński, whose design contributes to the immersive world-building of Hour of Devastation. Collectors often seek this card for its unique combination of low cost, high toughness, and utility. Whether used in gameplay or added to a themed collection, the foil version of Moaning Wall represents a solid entry point for enthusiasts of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. The platform supports enthusiasts in building comprehensive collections of classic sets and modern expansions alike.
