Description
The Kheru Lich Lord stands as a formidable presence in the Magic: The Gathering Khans of Tarkir set, released in 2014. As a rare creature card numbered 182, this Zombie Wizard commands a mana value of six, requiring a diverse color identity of black, green, and blue to cast effectively. Its design as a powerful artifact of the game's strategic depth appeals to players who appreciate complex interactions between the graveyard and the battlefield. Collectors and players value this card for its unique ability to manipulate the graveyard. At the beginning of your upkeep, you may pay a specific mana cost to return a random creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield. This returned creature immediately gains flying, trample, and haste, offering sudden tempo advantages. Crucially, the card exiles itself at the beginning of your next end step, preventing it from lingering indefinitely and maintaining game balance. If it would leave the battlefield during this exile window, it remains exiled rather than moving to another zone, ensuring the effect is temporary but impactful. Kheru Lich Lord is often sought after by deck builders looking for reliable recursion engines. Its ability to retrieve creatures from the graveyard provides flexibility in various formats, making it a staple in control and midrange strategies. The card’s design reflects the intricate mechanics that define Magic: The Gathering, offering a blend of strategic depth and thematic consistency. For collectors, owning this card is a testament to their appreciation for the game's rich history and complex rulesets. Whether you are completing your Khans of Tarkir collection or expanding your library of powerful creatures, this card is a valuable addition.
