Grixis Slavedriver

Description

The Grixis Slavedriver, identified as card number 74 in the 2017 Modern Masters release, stands as a notable inclusion for Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts. This foil variant features a black Zombie Giant creature that brings specific strategic value through its graveyard interactions. When this card leaves the battlefield, it generates a 2/2 black Zombie creature token, providing immediate board presence. Additionally, the card possesses the unearth ability, allowing players to return it from the graveyard to the battlefield for a cost of three black mana and one generic mana. Once unearthed, the creature gains haste, enabling it to attack or block immediately, though it must be exiled at the end of the next turn or if it leaves play. Collectors often seek this foil version for its visual appeal and the mechanical complexity it adds to deck construction. The artist Dave Kendall’s work on this piece captures the essence of the creature within the set's established design language. For those building collections around the Modern Masters era, this card represents a tangible connection to a pivotal time in the game's history. The combination of its common rarity in a premium set and its foil treatment makes it a sought-after item for completists.
