Wake to Slaughter

Description

Wake to Slaughter is a rare sorcery card featured in the 2022 Magic Online Promos set, cataloged as card number 94068. Designed by artist Chris Cold, this card is part of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game ecosystem and serves as a functional tool for players who utilize graveyard mechanics. The card requires a mana cost of {3}{B}{R} to cast from the hand, making it a five-mana spell that blends black and red mana identities. The primary effect of Wake to Slaughter allows a player to target up to two creature cards in their own graveyard. An opponent then selects one of these targets, which is returned to that player's hand. The second targeted card is returned to the battlefield under the player's control with haste, but it is exiled at the beginning of the next end step. This temporary presence allows for immediate board impact without permanent resource commitment. Additionally, the card features the flashback mechanic, printed with a cost of {4}{B}{R}. This allows the card to be cast directly from the graveyard, providing flexibility for deck builders who wish to leverage the card's effects even after it has been discarded or used for its recursion ability. The dual nature of the spell—offering both recovery and temporary summoning—makes it a versatile option in formats where graveyard recursion is a central strategy. The design and mechanics reflect the strategic depth characteristic of Magic: The Gathering, appealing to both competitive players and those who appreciate the intricate card design of the 2022 promo releases.
