Edgar's Awakening

Description

Edgar's Awakening, card number 377, is an uncommon sorcery from the 2022 Magic: The Gathering Innistrad: Double Feature expansion. Designed with a black mana identity and a mana value of five, this card offers strategic graveyard interaction for players building their decks. The release was illustrated by Joshua Raphael, adding to the distinct visual identity of the Innistrad: Double Feature set, which carries the DBL set code. As a sorcery, Edgar's Awakening allows a player to return a target creature card from their graveyard directly to the battlefield. This effect provides a significant advantage by retrieving powerful creatures that have already been sacrificed or destroyed, turning potential losses into immediate board presence. The card’s versatility is further enhanced by its discard ability. When discarded, the player may pay a single black mana to return a creature card from their graveyard to their hand instead. This secondary effect encourages strategic planning around discard outlets and hand management, making it a flexible tool in various deck archetypes that utilize graveyard synergy. The flavor text, "Here you go. Can't have you sleeping through your own wedding day," hints at the dark, gothic narrative themes characteristic of the Innistrad plane. These narrative elements appeal to collectors who appreciate the storytelling woven into the Magic: The Gathering universe. The Innistrad: Double Feature set serves as a bridge between different eras of the plane's history, offering a diverse selection of cards for both competitive players and casual collectors., enthusiasts can find this card as part of their collection or while seeking specific interactions for their Magic: The Gathering trading card game strategies. Whether used for its powerful retrieval effect or its thematic design, Edgar's Awakening remains a notable piece of the 2022 Innistrad release.
