Archpriest of Shadows

Description

Archpriest of Shadows is a 2023 Magic: The Gathering trading card from the March of the Machine expansion. Identified as card number 356, this Rare creature card is categorized as a Human Warlock. The card features artwork by Fariba Khamseh and utilizes a standard layout typical of the MOM set code release. With a mana cost of three generic mana and two black mana, the card has a mana value of five and possesses 4/4 power and toughness. The card’s primary mechanic is Backup 1. When Archpriest of Shadows enters the battlefield, you may place a +1/+1 counter on another target creature. If that creature is not Archpriest of Shadows itself, it gains two abilities until end of turn: deathtouch and the ability to return a creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield whenever it deals combat damage to a player or battle. This interaction allows for strategic board presence and recursion, making it a notable piece for collectors interested in the game's complex mechanics. Collectors often seek out cards from the March of the Machine set to complete their collections or for their specific gameplay interactions. Archpriest of Shadows represents a distinct design and mechanical package within the 2023 release. The card's identity as a Rare Human Warlock makes it a recognizable component of the set's creature lineup. Whether you are building a library of rare creatures or simply appreciate the artistry of the MOM expansion, this card offers a tangible connection to the game's ongoing narrative and strategic depth.
