Tainted Adversary

Description

The Tainted Adversary card, designated as 124p in the 2021 Innistrad: Midnight Hunt Promos set, is a Mythic Rare foil creature from Magic: The Gathering. Illustrated by Tuan Duong Chu, this card functions as a two-mana black Zombie with two power and three toughness. Its primary mechanic begins with deathtouch, ensuring any damage it deals is lethal to opposing creatures. Beyond its base stats, the card offers a scalable effect tied to its mana cost. Players may pay an additional {2}{B} any number of times as it enters the battlefield. Each payment places a +1/+1 counter on Tainted Adversary and creates two 2/2 black Zombie creature tokens. These tokens carry the decayed keyword, which prevents them from blocking and forces their sacrifice at the end of combat if they attack. As a promotional release, this print stands apart from standard set releases. The foil treatment and promo designation make it a distinct item for collectors who track alternate finishes or promotional distributions. The card’s design integrates seamlessly into black-centric decks that benefit from both board presence and token generation. The 2021 Innistrad: Midnight Hunt Promo card Tainted Adversary is a Mythic Rare Creature — Zombie with a foil finish. The combination of a low mana cost, a powerful entry effect, and the prestige of a Mythic Rare promo status creates a compelling piece for both gameplay and collection purposes.
