Duty-Bound Dead

Description

Duty-Bound Dead is a Common creature card numbered 92 in the Magic 2013 (M13) set, released in 2012. Illustrated by Johannes Voss, this card depicts a Skeleton with a mana cost of one black mana and a power/toughness of 0/2. The card features a foil finish, adding a distinct visual texture to the standard card design. As a black mana creature, Duty-Bound Dead utilizes the Exalted mechanic. This ability triggers whenever a creature you control attacks alone, granting that creature +1/+1 until the end of the turn. This effect encourages strategic single-creature attacks to maximize damage output. Regeneration allows the creature to survive destruction for the turn by tapping, removing it from combat, and healing all damage. For Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts, this card serves as a foundational element for black-aligned decks. Its low mana cost makes it accessible early in the game, while its abilities provide flexible tactical options. The foil variant is particularly sought after by collectors who appreciate the aesthetic enhancement provided by the special finish. Completing the M13 set with this card number allows enthusiasts to own a complete representation of the base checklist. The combination of its mechanical utility and foil treatment makes the Duty-Bound Dead a notable inclusion for any dedicated collection of Magic cards.
