Description
Vile Requiem, identified as card C13-98, is a distinct black Enchantment from Magic: The Gathering's 2023 The List set. Designed with a mana cost of {2}{B}{B} and a mana value of 4, this card offers a strategic gameplay loop centered on resource accumulation and board control. As a black-only card, it fits seamlessly into decks focused on attrition and removal, allowing players to sacrifice it to destroy multiple nonblack creatures based on accumulated verse counters. Vile Requiem stands out for its elegant mechanical design, where players can place verse counters during their upkeep to increase the card's potential impact. When sacrificed for {1}{B}, it destroys up to X nonblack creatures, where X matches the number of verse counters, providing a powerful late-game solution. Collectors often seek out cards from The List for their novelty and the way they expand the broader Magic: The Gathering lore and mechanics. Whether you are building a competitive deck or curating a collection of rare set inclusions, this card represents a compelling addition for fans of the trading card game.
