Description
Released in 2018 as part of the Masters 25 set, Dirge of Dread (Card #86) is a black sorcery card designed for strategic depth and versatility. Crafted by artist Seb McKinnon, this common rarity card offers players a flexible tool in their deck-building arsenal. The card’s mana cost of {2}{B} and mana value of 3 make it accessible early in the game, allowing for timely impact against opponents. The card’s primary effect grants all creatures fear until the end of the turn, a mechanic that restricts blocking to only artifact and black creatures. This creates immediate pressure and can disrupt enemy defenses. Additionally, Dirge of Dread features the cycling ability for {1}{B}. By discarding the card, players draw a new one, maintaining hand size and card advantage. When cycled, players may also choose to grant a target creature fear, providing targeted utility rather than a broad board effect. For collectors, this card represents a key component of the Masters 25 product line, which celebrates iconic mechanics and cards from Magic: The Gathering history. Dirge of Dread’s dual functionality—both as a board-wiping threat and a card-draw engine—makes it a staple in competitive play and a favorite among players who value strategic flexibility. Collecting Magic: The Gathering cards like Dirge of Dread allows hobbyists to explore the rich lore and mechanical variety of the game. Whether you are completing a set, focusing on specific mechanics like fear and cycling, or building a themed deck, this card offers both gameplay utility and collectible value. The Masters 25 release remains a significant milestone for fans, and Dirge of Dread stands out as a versatile and powerful option within the black color identity. Explore the Masters 25 collection to find cards like Dirge of Dread and other classics that define the game’s competitive landscape.
