Miasmic Mummy

Description

Released in 2019 as part of the exclusive The List series, the Miasmic Mummy card (AKH-100) represents a unique intersection of Magic: The Gathering's evolving mechanics and its rich lore. Designed by E. M. Gist, this Common rarity card introduces a Zombie Jackal creature into the game with a mana cost of one generic mana and one black mana. Its two power and two toughness make it a resilient presence on the battlefield, capable of surviving initial removal spells while delivering its disruptive effect. The strategic value of Miasmic Mummy lies in its entry trigger. When this creature enters the battlefield, it forces each player to discard a card from their hand. This global effect can disrupt an opponent's planned combo or force a difficult decision for the controller, making it a versatile tool in both casual and constructed formats. The flavor text, "Its breath doesn't assault the senses. It pollutes the mind," hints at the card's insidious nature, suggesting a psychological corruption rather than a physical one. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering often seek out The List cards due to their limited availability and the prestige associated with this promotional series. The List cards are typically distributed through special events and conventions, making them highly sought after by completionists and lore enthusiasts. The Miasmic Mummy, with its distinct Zombie Jackal subtype, adds to the diverse pool of creatures available to players who enjoy building decks around disruption and board control. Whether you are looking to add a powerful tool to your arsenal or complete a collection of The List cards, this product offers a compelling piece of Magic history.
