Widespread Brutality

Description

Widespread Brutality (Card Number 226p) is a foil promotional card from the 2019 War of the Spark Promos set in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Designed by Victor Adame Minguez, this sorcery features a mana cost of {1}{B}{R}{R} and operates within the black and red color identity. As a rare treatment variant, it holds distinct appeal for players who appreciate the strategic depth of the amass mechanic introduced during this era. The card allows players to amass two zombies by placing +1/+1 counters on an existing army or creating a new 0/0 black Zombie Army creature token if none is controlled. Following this action, the resulting army deals damage equal to its power to each non-army creature on the battlefield. This effect provides a versatile tool for board control, allowing players to eliminate opposing threats while simultaneously growing their own forces. The interaction between the amass ability and the subsequent damage output makes it a functional piece for decks focused on token strategies. The card number 226p identifies it within the promo subset, distinguishing it from the main set checklist. Its unique gameplay loop of combining token generation with targeted removal appeals to both competitive builders and those interested in the mechanical innovations of the 2019 era. The presence of this card in a collection highlights an understanding of the complex interactions between army tokens and creature damage effects in the game.
