Sleep Paralysis

Description

The Shadows over Innistrad expansion, released in 2016, brought a gothic horror aesthetic to the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This product represents the Sleep Paralysis card, cataloged as number 87 in the set. It is an Enchantment — Aura with a mana cost of {3}{U} and a mana value of 4. The card features artwork by Josu Hernaiz, whose style complements the set's dark, atmospheric themes. In gameplay, Sleep Paralysis targets a creature, tapping it upon entry and preventing it from untapping during its controller's next untap step. This mechanical effect creates significant tactical pressure, forcing opponents to manage their resources carefully. The flavor text, "Sleep doesn't always mean rest," reinforces the unsettling tone of the Innistrad plane. Collectors often seek out this card for its strategic utility and its representation of the set's unique design language. The foil treatment adds a layer of visual appeal, making it a desirable addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection. Whether you are building a competitive deck or curating a set of favorites, this card offers both mechanical depth and aesthetic charm. Its common rarity ensures accessibility, while its foil version provides a premium finish for display.
