Dreadhorde Butcher

Description

The Dreadhorde Butcher card from the 2019 War of the Spark Promos set (card number 194s) is a foil promotional Magic: The Gathering trading card designed by artist Piotr Dura. This creature card features the Zombie Warrior type with a mana cost of {B}{R} and a mana value of two. The Dreadhorde Butcher is a 1/1 Creature — Zombie Warrior with haste. The card’s rules text provides a progressive threat that scales with combat. Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player or planeswalker, it receives a +1/+1 counter. This mechanic allows the card to grow significantly stronger throughout a game if it remains in play and continues to attack. Upon dying, the card deals damage to any target equal to its current power, ensuring it remains a relevant threat until it is removed from the battlefield. The foil finish distinguishes this version from standard printings, adding a distinct visual element to the card's identity. As a rare card within the PWAR set code, it appeals to those who appreciate the unique artwork and gameplay mechanics introduced during this era of the game. The Dreadhorde Butcher remains a recognizable piece of the War of the Spark Promos collection for enthusiasts of the format.
