Cemetery Reaper

Description

Cemetery Reaper, identified as card number 86 in the Magic 2012 (M12) core set, is a black mana Creature — Zombie with a mana cost of {1}{B}{B}. Released in 2011, this Rare card carries a mana value of 3 and possesses 2 power and 2 toughness. The card’s design by Dave Allsop establishes it as a distinct entry in the M12 checklist for players seeking to complete their base set collections. The card’s rules text provides two distinct functions for the player. First, it offers a passive ability that grants +1/+1 to other Zombie creatures under your control, enhancing the board presence of a specific creature type. Second, it includes an activated ability costing {2}{B} and requiring the card to be tapped. When activated, this ability allows the player to exile a target creature card from a graveyard and create a 2/2 black Zombie creature token. This mechanic directly interacts with the graveyard resource, offering recovery options that are central to black mana strategies in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. The Cemetery Reaper is a Rare Creature — Zombie from the Magic 2012 set with a mana cost of {1}{B}{B}. Its status as a Rare rarity card from a widely distributed core set makes it a accessible yet strategic component for the Magic 2012 set. The card’s flavor text, "Every grave cradles a recruit," adds narrative context to its mechanical role in the game.
