Description
The 2016 Magic: The Gathering Oath of the Gatewatch Promos release features the Dread Defiler as card number 68, a formidable addition to any TCG collection. Designed by artist Joseph Meehan, this foil rarity showcases a seven-mana cost creature with a 6/8 power and toughness stat line. As an Eldrazi, the Dread Defiler utilizes the Devoid mechanic, meaning it has no color identity despite its black mana cost. This unique design allows it to function within diverse deck archetypes that might otherwise struggle with color restrictions. The card’s ability lets players exile a creature from their graveyard to deal damage to an opponent, a powerful effect that scales with the exiled card's power. For Magic: The Gathering collectors, this promo card represents a distinct era of the game's lore and mechanics. The foil treatment adds visual appeal, making it a standout piece for those building specialized collections. Whether you are a player interested in the card's strategic utility or a collector focused on completing the Oath of the Gatewatch Promos subset, this card offers significant value. The combination of Joseph Meehan's art and the card's mechanical depth makes it a memorable part of the 2016 Magic: The Gathering landscape.
