## Description

The 2011 Magic: The Gathering M12 'Call to the Grave' foil card stands as a distinctive piece of the Magic 2012 core set, designated as card number 85. As a rare black enchantment, this card introduces a significant battlefield dynamic through its unique upkeep trigger. Players must sacrifice a non-Zombie creature of their choice at the beginning of each upkeep, creating strategic pressure that forces difficult decisions regarding board presence.

Designed by artist Daarken, the foil treatment adds a premium finish that enhances its visual appeal for collectors and players alike. This product represents a key element of the black mana color identity, offering both mechanical depth and aesthetic value. Collectors often seek out specific foil treatments from this era to complete their M12 sets or to appreciate the artistic direction of the Magic 2012 release.
