Waking the Trolls

Description

Waking the Trolls is a six-mana Saga enchantment from Magic: The Gathering, identified by card number 234p in the 2021 Kaldheim Promos set (PKHM). Designed by Daniel Ljunggren, this card commands a mana cost of {4}{R}{G}, requiring both red and green resources to cast. As a Saga, it progresses through three chapters, each triggered by adding a lore counter as the enchantment enters the battlefield and at the start of your draw step. The card’s abilities offer a potent mix of disruption and board control. The first chapter allows you to destroy a target land, weakening an opponent’s resource base. The second chapter enables you to retrieve a land card from a graveyard and put it onto the battlefield under your control, effectively recycling your own resources. The final chapter, Chapter III, serves as the card’s primary win condition: you choose a target opponent, and if they control fewer lands than you, you create a number of 4/4 green Troll Warrior creature tokens with trample equal to the difference in land count. While Waking the Trolls is classified as a Rare, its promo status and distinct Saga mechanic make it a notable addition to any collection focused on enchantments or creature token strategies. The card’s ability to swing the game state by manipulating land counts and generating aggressive tokens appeals to players who enjoy dynamic, interactive gameplay.
