Too Greedily, Too Deep

Description

Too Greedily Too Deep (Card #482) is a distinctive sorcery from the 2023 Tales of Middle-earth Commander subset in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Designed for decks utilizing black and red mana, this card offers a strategic advantage by interacting directly with the graveyard. The spell requires a total mana cost of seven, consisting of five generic mana plus one black and one red mana, making it a significant investment that demands careful deck construction. The card’s primary effect allows the caster to put a target creature card from a graveyard onto the battlefield under their control. What makes this recursion particularly potent is the secondary effect: that creature immediately deals damage to each other creature equal to its power. This creates a powerful board-clearing mechanism, allowing players to swing back into the game by sacrificing a powerful creature they just retrieved. It is an excellent tool for controlling the battlefield while simultaneously reusing valuable resources that would otherwise be lost. Flavor text on the card references a quote attributed to Gandalf, noting how mithril was both the foundation of dwarven wealth and their destruction. This thematic element ties the card’s aggressive nature to the lore of Middle-earth. The artwork for this rare card was created by Anton Solovianchyk, adding visual appeal to this powerful gameplay mechanic. Collectors and players alike appreciate how this card blends narrative depth with functional utility, making it a sought-after addition for those building commander decks centered around graveyard strategies or creature sacrifice themes.
