Postmortem Professor

Description

This foil finish variant offers a distinct visual appeal for collectors who appreciate the shimmering treatment on creature cards. As a Black-colored card, it fits seamlessly into decks built around the color's thematic identity of death and resurrection. Postmortem Professor is categorized as a Creature — Zombie Warlock with a mana cost of {1}{B} and a mana value of 2. With a power and toughness of 2/2, this card provides a solid board presence. The creature possesses specific gameplay mechanics that allow for strategic depth. It cannot block opposing creatures, which shapes its defensive role in the game. When it attacks, it triggers an effect where each opponent loses 1 life and the controller gains 1 life, creating a symmetric life exchange that can be crucial for closing out games. The card's most distinctive feature is its graveyard interaction. By paying {1}{B} and exiling an instant or sorcery card from the graveyard, the controller can return Postmortem Professor from the graveyard to the battlefield. This recursion ability makes it a persistent threat, allowing players to reuse its attack trigger multiple times. The foil treatment applied to this card highlights the artwork by Nino Vecia, adding a layer of collectibility to the gameplay utility. Collectors often seek out these promo cards to complete their Secrets of Strixhaven sets or to add a unique piece to their Magic: The Gathering collections. The combination of its Zombie Warlock subtype and its recursive mechanics makes it a notable addition to any enthusiast's library.
