Hallowed Respite

Description

The Hallowed Respite card, numbered 227, is a distinct component of the 2022 Innistrad: Double Feature expansion in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Released as a foil rare, this card appeals to collectors who appreciate the unique aesthetic finish and the strategic depth of the game's sorcery archetype. Designed by artist Jason A. Engle, the card represents a specific moment in the Innistrad block's history, offering a tangible connection to the game's evolving lore and mechanical identity. From a gameplay perspective, Hallowed Respite functions as a versatile sorcery with a mana cost of {W}{U}. Its primary effect allows players to exile a target nonlegendary creature and return it to the battlefield under its owner's control. The outcome depends on control: if the creature entered under the caster's control, it receives a +1/+1 counter; otherwise, it is tapped. This dynamic interaction makes it a valuable tool for board manipulation. Additionally, the card includes a flashback ability costing {1}{W}{U}, enabling its casting from the graveyard and adding a layer of resilience to its utility. The foil variant adds a premium tactile element, distinguishing it within the broader catalog of Magic: The Gathering releases. Whether for building a competitive deck or expanding a personal archive of the Innistrad era, this card stands as a notable entry for dedicated players and hobbyists alike.
