Discourtesy Clerk

Description

The Discourtesy Clerk is a foil uncommon creature card from the 2022 Magic: The Gathering Unfinity expansion, identified by card number 356. Illustrating the whimsical and irreverent tone of the Un-sets, this card depicts a Vampire Employee with a mana cost of three generic mana and one black mana. As a four-mana vampire, it brings a unique strategic layer to the game through its interaction with the set's innovative Attraction mechanic. When the Discourtesy Clerk enters the battlefield, it allows the controller to open an Attraction by placing the top card of their Attraction deck directly onto the field. The card’s ability also includes a conditional payoff: if the controller possesses three or more Attractions at the beginning of their end step, they draw a card but lose 1 life. This trade-off encourages players to build around the Attraction strategy, making the Discourtesy Clerk a pivotal piece for decks focused on this mechanic. For collectors, the foil treatment of the Discourtesy Clerk adds a shimmering finish that highlights the character's design, created by artist Vladimir Krisetskiy. While the flavor text humorously notes that the vampire Myra does not pay her staff to smile because it was off-putting, the card itself serves as a functional and thematic component for Magic enthusiasts. Owning this card allows collectors to engage with one of the most creative expansions in Magic history, appealing to both those seeking to complete the Unfinity set and players looking to experiment with its unique rules. The Discourtesy Clerk remains a memorable part of the Unfinity catalog, representing the bold design choices that made the set a standout release for the trading card game community.
