Xathrid Necromancer

Description

The Magic 2014 Promos A12 foil Xathrid Necromancer stands as a distinct entry for collectors focusing on the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Released in 2014, this promo card features the creature in a foil finish, adding a tactile layer of appeal to the standard card design. As a Human Wizard with a mana cost of two generic mana and one black mana, the Xathrid Necromancer occupies a specific niche in the game's creature lineup. The card’s identity is defined by its powerful death-trigger ability. Whenever this creature or another Human creature you control dies, the controller creates a tapped 2/2 black Zombie creature token. This mechanic makes the card a valuable asset for decks built around sacrifice strategies or those leveraging the Human tribal synergy. Collectors who appreciate the strategic depth of Magic: The Gathering often seek out this card number to complete their sets or to use in competitive play. Maciej Kuciara provided the artwork for this release, contributing to the visual identity of the Magic 2014 Promos subset. The card is classified as a Rare within its specific print run, denoted by the PM14 set code. For serious hobbyists, owning the A12 Xathrid Necromancer represents more than just acquiring a playable card; it is an investment in a piece of TCG history that captures the essence of the 2014 era. Whether you are building a library focused on black mana strategies or simply curating a collection of premium promo cards, this foil variant offers significant collector value. The combination of the card's unique rules text, the prestige of the foil treatment, and its status within the Magic 2014 Promos set makes it a notable item for any dedicated collector's portfolio.
