Description
Designed by artist Jack Hughes, this foil variant brings a striking finish to the five-mana Zombie creature. As a key piece in the SLC set, it appeals to builders seeking to complete their Secret Lair collections or acquire distinct parallels for their decks. This card demands three black mana to cast, resulting in a 2/4 power and toughness. Its primary effect triggers upon entering the battlefield: each opponent loses life equal to your devotion to black, while you gain that same amount of life. This mechanic makes the card highly dependent on the player's black mana base, rewarding strategic deck construction. The foil treatment enhances its visual appeal, making it a desirable addition for those focused on set completion or specific card numbers. Whether you are a veteran player or a new enthusiast, this card offers both gameplay potential and collectible interest.
