Description
Horror of Horrors is a black uncommon enchantment from the 2005 Ninth Edition set of Magic: The Gathering. Identified by card number 140 and marked with the 9ED set code, this card offers a strategic utility option for players building decks around the black mana color. The card requires a mana cost of {3}{B}{B} and has a mana value of five, representing a moderate investment of resources in gameplay. As an enchantment, Horror of Horrors provides a protective effect for the controller. The card allows the player to sacrifice a Swamp land card to regenerate a target black creature. Regeneration is a specific game mechanic that prevents a creature from being destroyed; instead, the creature becomes tapped, removed from combat, and all damage is healed on it during that turn. This makes the card a valuable defensive tool in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, particularly for strategies that rely on keeping key black creatures on the battlefield longer. The card was illustrated by Simon Bisley, whose distinctive artistic style is noted for this release. Collectors and players alike appreciate Ninth Edition for its role as a foundational set in the Magic: The Gathering canon, providing access to a wide array of classic cards. Horror of Horrors remains a relevant piece for those interested in the game's history and mechanics. Whether you are a seasoned collector or a new player exploring the possibilities of black mana, this card represents a solid addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection. The enduring popularity of such cards highlights the depth and longevity of the Magic: The Gathering universe.
