Description
The Breeding Pit, identified by card number DDC-53, is a distinct black Enchantment from Magic: The Gathering's The List 2019 set. Designed by Adrian Smith, this Uncommon card offers a strategic loop for players seeking to populate the board with tokens. During gameplay, the card requires a maintenance cost to remain in play; at the beginning of your upkeep, you must sacrifice the enchantment or pay two black mana. If the cost is paid, the enchantment persists. By the end of your turn, the card rewards this investment by creating a 0/1 black Thrull creature token. This mechanic allows collectors and players to evaluate its utility in token-centric strategies without relying on external meta-analysis. The flavor text hints at the terrifying reproductive pace of these creatures, adding narrative weight to the card's function within the game's lore. For those building comprehensive collections of The List releases, this card represents a tangible piece of Magic's ongoing design experimentation.
