Crackling Doom

Description

Collectors of Magic: The Gathering often seek out specific promotional cards to complete their curated libraries, and the 2014 Khans of Tarkir Promos release offers several unique pieces for enthusiasts. Among these is the Crackling Doom card, identified by the set code PKTK and card number 171s. This instant spell stands out not only for its gameplay utility but also for its visual appeal as a foil print, which adds a layer of collectibility for those who appreciate the aesthetic variations within the Khans of Tarkir era. Designed by Yohann Schepacz, this card carries the rarity designation of Rare, making it a distinct addition to any Magic: The Gathering trading card game collection. The card’s design reflects the bold artistic direction of the 2014 promotional sets, featuring the iconic Magic frame with a shimmering foil treatment that catches the light. For investors and hobbyists alike, owning a piece of this promotional run provides a tangible connection to a pivotal year in the game’s history. The card itself is an instant spell with a mana cost of {R}{W}{B}, requiring three mana to cast. Its effect is straightforward yet powerful: it deals two damage to each opponent and forces each opponent to sacrifice a creature with the greatest power among creatures they control. This dual effect makes it a memorable card in the lore and mechanics of the game. The flavor text, "Do not fear the lightning. Fear the one it obeys," adds a narrative depth that resonates with fans of the Tarkir storyline.
