Undead Augur

Description

Undead Augur is a Black-colored creature card from the 2019 Modern Horizons expansion, designated as card number 112 in the set. Designed by Sara Winters, this Uncommon rarity card belongs to the Magic: The Gathering trading card game and features the Zombie Wizard creature type. With a mana cost of two black mana and a mana value of two, the card serves as an efficient early-game presence that offers ongoing card advantage through its activated ability. The card’s primary function revolves around a triggered effect: whenever Undead Augur or another Zombie you control dies, you draw a card and lose one life. This mechanic rewards players who build decks focused on sacrificing creatures or utilizing zombie-themed synergies, allowing for steady resource generation despite the life loss penalty. The flavor text, "To see past the veil of death, cross it," attributed to *The Red Book of Mezdrithalik*, adds narrative depth to the card's dark, necromantic theme. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering often seek out Modern Horizons cards for their unique designs and reprinted staples that reshape format dynamics. As part of the MH1 set code, this card represents a distinct era of Magic's design philosophy, blending familiar mechanics with new creative directions. Whether you are building a zombie tribal deck or simply appreciate the intricate art and lore of the Magic universe, Undead Augur offers a compelling addition to your collection. Its combination of low mana cost, consistent card draw, and thematic flavor makes it a notable piece for any Magic: The Gathering enthusiast looking to expand their holdings with a card that delivers both strategic value and aesthetic appeal.
