Death Frenzy

Description

Death Frenzy is a Sorcery card from the Khans of Tarkir set, released in 2014. Printed as card number 172, this uncommon card requires a mana cost of three generic, one black, and one green mana to cast. It has a mana value of five and is recognized by the set code KTK within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game community. The card’s effect is designed to disrupt the board state while providing a resource advantage. Upon resolution, it applies a -2/-2 counter effect to all creatures currently in play until the end of the turn. This broad weakening allows players to remove resilient threats more easily. Additionally, the card includes a triggered ability that grants the caster one life for every creature that dies during that turn. This life gain mechanism encourages aggressive strategies focused on board clearance and attrition. For collectors of Magic: The Gathering, Death Frenzy represents a specific era of game design where board-wiping effects were balanced with life gain to mitigate the tempo loss. The card was illustrated by Steve Prescott, whose work contributes to the distinct visual identity of the Khans of Tarkir expansion. Collectors often seek this card to complete the uncommon subset of the set or to build themed decks that synergize with creature sacrifice or removal strategies. Whether you are building a Commander deck or completing a set collection, Death Frenzy offers a versatile tool for controlling the game state. Its dual-color identity allows it to fit into formats that support both black and green mana bases, making it a flexible addition to various collections.
