Description
Released in 2016 as part of the Shadows over Innistrad expansion, the Asylum Visitor is a distinctive Rare card within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This card, designated as number 99 in the set, represents the gothic horror themes central to Innistrad's lore. It features the type line Creature — Vampire Wizard, blending two classic archetypes into a single 3/1 unit that costs two mana to cast. Collectors appreciate this card for its strategic depth and thematic resonance. The Asylum Visitor offers a unique effect during upkeep: if a player has no cards in hand, they draw a card but lose 1 life. Additionally, the card includes the Madness mechanic, allowing players to cast it from their graveyard by discarding it first, paying a reduced cost of one black mana. This versatility makes it a memorable piece for fans of the Shadows over Innistrad set. The card is illustrated by Bastien L. Deharme, whose artwork complements the eerie atmosphere of the release. Whether you are building a thematic deck or completing your Shadows over Innistrad collection, the Asylum Visitor stands out as a key component of the set's creature lineup. Its combination of immediate impact and discard synergy captures the essence of the set's dark narrative.
