Dauthi Marauder

Description

The Dauthi Marauder stands as a distinct Black creature card within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, originally released as part of the Tempest Remastered set in 2015. Carrying the card number 96 and designated with the set code TPR, this Uncommon rarity card offers collectors a tangible piece of the game's rich history. Illustrated by Andrew Robinson, the card introduces the Dauthi Minion subtype, expanding the lore surrounding these subterranean entities. In gameplay, the Dauthi Marauder costs three mana to cast, requiring two generic mana and one black mana. It enters the battlefield as a 3/1 creature, providing a solid body for its cost. The card’s primary strategic value lies in its Shadow ability. This keyword allows the Marauder to block or be blocked only by other creatures possessing Shadow, creating unique tactical puzzles during matches. This mechanic forces players to carefully consider their board state and blocking decisions, making the card a favorite for those who enjoy complex strategic interactions. While the original Tempest set defined an era of limited play, the 2015 remastering brought these classic cards back into circulation for modern players. The Dauthi Marauder, with its evocative flavor text from Soltari Tales of Life, captures the dark atmosphere of the Urza's Saga block. Whether you are building a thematic deck focused on the Shadow mechanic or simply appreciating the card's design and history, this card remains a notable entry in the Magic: The Gathering catalog.
