Description
The Gray Merchant of Asphodel, designated as card number 89 in the 2013 Theros expansion, stands as a foundational black mana source for Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts. Designed by Robbie Trevino, this common creature card introduces a strategic depth that appeals to both casual players and serious set builders. As a Zombie with a mana cost of {3}{B}{B}, it requires players to establish their devotion to black before its full power can be realized upon entering the battlefield. The foil finish adds a distinct visual appeal, making it a desirable addition for those tracking variant treatments within the set. Whether you are constructing a competitive deck or curating a personal collection of Theros cards, this product represents a key piece of the era's design language.
