Kaya, Bane of the Dead

Description

The 2019 Magic: The Gathering War of the Spark Promos release features Kaya, Bane of the Dead as card number 231s. This foil uncommon edition is a staple for enthusiasts completing the PWAR set or seeking high-quality additions to their collection. Magali Villeneuve provided the artwork for this legendary planeswalker, which stands out in the Black and White color identity due to its unique mechanical interaction with opponent protections. Kaya enters the battlefield with a loyalty of 7 and requires a mana cost of three generic mana alongside two hybrid Black/White symbols to cast. The card’s most distinctive trait is its ability to bypass hexproof, allowing players to target opponents and their controlled permanents as though those protections did not exist. This makes the card particularly valuable in formats where hexproof creatures are common. The ability to exile a target creature with a loyalty ability provides a reliable removal option, solidifying Kaya’s role as a strategic asset in the War of the Spark storyline and gameplay. For collectors, the foil finish adds a layer of visual appeal that distinguishes this promo card from its non-foil counterparts. Whether you are building a themed deck around the Bane of the Dead or simply appreciating the intricate design of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, this card represents a key piece of the 2019 expansion era.
