Description
Death Pulse (137) is a notable uncommon Instant from the 2002 Magic: The Gathering Onslaught set. Designed by Tony Szczudlo, this black card provides a devastating -4/-4 effect against any target creature until the end of the turn. Its strategic depth is enhanced by the cycling ability, allowing players to discard the card for {1}{B}{B} to draw a new card, potentially dealing additional damage. This mechanic makes it a flexible tool for mana manipulation and board control in Constructed formats. Including Death Pulse is a valuable step for anyone building a complete Onslaught collection or appreciating the intricate gameplay of early 2000s Magic: The Gathering. The card's unique rules text and iconic status within the black mana identity make it a favorite among dedicated players and investors alike.
