Description
Released in 2002 as part of the Torment expansion, the Magic: The Gathering trading card game card known as Dawn of the Dead (card number 59) is a distinctive black enchantment. Designed by Pete Venters, this foil variant offers collectors a shimmering finish that highlights its status as a rare card within the set.

For fans of the Magic: The Gathering franchise, this product represents a key piece of early 2000s TCG history. Collectors often seek out specific card numbers from the Torment series to complete their collections, and the foil treatment adds significant visual appeal.

Its unique rules text and foil finish make it a favorite among enthusiasts who appreciate the depth of the game's mechanics and the artistry of Pete Venters.
