Dungeon Shade

Description

The 2015 Tempest Remastered release brought a curated selection of popular cards from the original Tempest block back into print, and Dungeon Shade stands as a recognizable piece of that legacy. As card number 103 in the TPR set, this foil version offers collectors a shimmering alternative to the standard nonfoil print, appealing to those who appreciate the tactile finish that foil treatments provide. The card depicts a Shade Spirit creature, a type that has appeared throughout the history of Magic: The Gathering, embodying the dark, ethereal aesthetic of black mana. In the game, Dungeon Shade serves as a versatile option for players who value speed and power. With a mana cost of three generic mana and one black mana, it enters the battlefield as a 1/1 creature with the flying ability, allowing it to bypass ground blockers and reach opponents directly. Its activated ability allows a player to sacrifice a black mana to grant it +1/+1 until the end of the turn, making it a flexible threat that can surprise opponents or finish off a damaged life total. This mechanical identity makes it a staple in decks that rely on black mana acceleration and aggressive strategies. The foil treatment on Dungeon Shade adds a layer of visual interest, catching the light and distinguishing it from the base commons. Whether you are building a Commander deck, exploring Vintage formats, or simply adding to a collection of black creatures, this card represents a key piece of Magic history. The enduring appeal of Tempest Remastered lies in its ability to bridge the gap between classic gameplay and modern collecting standards.
