Dreadhorde Arcanist

Description

The Dreadhorde Arcanist foil card from the 2019 War of the Spark Promos set offers a distinct addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection. Released in 2019, this rare foil variant features the creature as a Zombie Wizard with a mana cost of {1}{R} and a power and toughness of 1/3. Mechanically, the Dreadhorde Arcanist brings specific strategic depth to gameplay. It possesses the Trample ability, allowing excess damage to reach the player or planeswalker if blocked. Its primary attraction lies in its graveyard synergy: whenever this creature attacks, the controller may cast a target instant or sorcery card from their graveyard without paying its mana cost, provided the card's mana value is less than or equal to the Arcanist's power. If that spell would normally be put into a graveyard, it is exiled instead, preserving resources for future turns. This interaction makes it a valuable piece for players who build decks around recycling spells. Art by G-host Lee, this card carries the set code PWAR and is numbered 125p. Collectors often seek out foil treatments for their visual appeal and tactile quality, making this release a notable item for enthusiasts of the War of the Spark storyline. The combination of the Zombie and Wizard subtypes adds to its thematic uniqueness within the broader Magic: The Gathering universe. Whether used for competitive play or simply as a display piece, the Dreadhorde Arcanist represents a well-regarded creature in the 2019 promotional landscape.
