Wake to Slaughter

Description

The Wake to Slaughter card, identified by number 94068 in the Magic Online Promos set, represents a strategic sorcery option within the Magic: The Gathering universe. Released in 2022, this print features a foil finish that distinguishes it within the promotional catalog. The card operates with a mana cost of three generic, one black, and one red mana, totaling a mana value of five. Its color identity spans both black and red, allowing it to fit into decks that utilize these dual colors. Gameplay for Wake to Slaughter centers on graveyard interaction. Players target up to two creature cards from their own graveyard. An opponent then selects one of those targets to be returned to the caster's hand. The second targeted card is returned to the battlefield under the caster's control with haste, but it is exiled at the beginning of the next end step. This mechanic provides temporary board presence while recovering resources, making it a versatile tool in the right strategic context. Additionally, the card includes a flashback ability, allowing it to be cast from the graveyard for an additional cost of four generic, one black, and one red mana. Once the flashback spell resolves, the card is exiled, preventing reuse of the same instance. This dual-layered functionality appeals to collectors who appreciate complex mechanical designs in promotional cards. For enthusiasts of Magic: The Gathering, the Wake to Slaughter foil offers a tangible connection to the 2022 Magic Online Promos series. The artwork is credited to Chris Cold, adding to the visual appeal of this rare variant. Collectors often seek out such promotional foils to complete their sets or to add distinct strategic pieces to their collections.
