Dungeon Shade

Description

The 2015 Magic: The Gathering Tempest Remastered expansion brings the Dungeon Shade back into circulation as card number 103 in the TPR set. This reprint allows collectors to add a recognizable piece of the Tempest era to their collection without the premium often associated with the original 1997 printing. As a Common rarity card, it serves as an accessible entry point for those building sets focused on the Tempest Remastered series or those interested in the broader history of Magic: The Gathering card designs. Dungeon Shade is classified as a Creature — Shade Spirit with a mana cost of {3}{B} and a mana value of 4. In gameplay, this card brings the essential keyword ability of Flying to the battlefield, allowing it to evade most ground-based blockers. Its unique activated ability offers strategic flexibility for black decks: by paying one black mana, players can grant this 1/1 creature a temporary +1/+1 boost until the end of the turn. This mechanism makes it a surprisingly resilient threat in limited formats, capable of trading favorably with larger blockers or finishing off a low-life opponent. The card’s flavor text, "A sickness stirs in its eyes, a nightmare born in darkened wails," adds atmospheric depth to the card's identity as a spectral entity. Whether you are completing a full set run of Tempest Remastered or simply seeking a staple creature for a black-themed deck, the Dungeon Shade remains a functional and historically significant piece of Magic: The Gathering lore. The platform supports collectors in building diverse libraries, ensuring that every card, from rare legends to common staples, can be found by those who appreciate the depth and strategy of the game.
