This entry, Animate Dead, appears as card number 16 within the PD3 set code. Produced as an Uncommon foil, the card features a shimmering finish that contrasts with the standard matte treatment found in many other sets from that era. The artwork is credited to Anthony Jones, whose style helped define the visual identity of this premium product. As an Enchantment — Aura, Animate Dead serves a unique mechanical purpose in the game. It allows players to return a creature card from a graveyard to the battlefield, attaching itself to that creature. This creates a persistent threat, as the enchanted creature suffers a -1/-0 power/toughness penalty. When the Aura leaves play, the creature it enchants is sacrificed, adding a strategic layer to deck construction. For collectors, the PD3 series remains a notable subset due to its specialized design and thematic cohesion. The foil treatment enhances its visual appeal, making it a desirable piece for those focusing on premium releases from the early 2010s. The combination of its iconic gameplay function and the distinctive Graveborn artwork makes this card a standout item for enthusiasts of the brand.
