Gravedigger

Description

The Magic: The Gathering trading card game card Gravedigger, numbered 136 in the 2005 Ninth Edition, represents a staple of the black mana color identity. Designed by Dermot Power, this Common creature card features a mana cost of three generic mana and one black mana, resulting in a mana value of four. As a Zombie, it possesses a power and toughness of 2/2, fitting seamlessly into strategies focused on resurrection and resource management. When Gravedigger enters the battlefield, it offers a potent effect: players may return a target creature card from their graveyard to their hand. This ability has long made it a favorite for building decks that leverage the graveyard as a secondary resource, allowing for repeated value generation. The card’s design reflects the aesthetic standards of mid-2000s Magic releases, with clear text boxes and distinct artwork that define the era. For collectors, the Ninth Edition remains one of the most recognizable expansions in the game’s history, serving as an entry point for new players and a nostalgic touchstone for veterans. Gravedigger (#136) is a key piece for those completing the basic set, offering both functional utility in gameplay and historical significance in the collectible card community. Whether you are building a deck or expanding your catalog, this card stands as a testament to the strategic depth of Magic: The Gathering.
