Description
Slaughter Cry is a red Instant card featured in the Magic: The Gathering M12 set, released in 2011. As a common rarity card numbered 155, it serves as a foundational element for players building aggressive red strategies. The card allows a player to target a creature, giving it a +3/+0 bonus and first strike until the end of the turn.

In the context of Magic: The Gathering collecting, cards from the M12 era are often sought after for their historical significance in the game's evolution. Collectors appreciate Slaughter Cry not just for its gameplay mechanics, but also for its role in the iconic red deck archetype that defines the color's identity.
