Relentless Advance

Description

Released in 2019 as part of the War of the Spark expansion, Relentless Advance is a common blue sorcery card identified by the set code WAR and card number 64. This foil variant offers collectors a shiny finish on a staple card from one of Magic: The Gathering's largest story arcs. The card is illustrated by Stanton Feng, whose design contributes to the visual identity of this release. Mechanically, Relentless Advance functions as a resource acceleration tool. Its primary ability allows players to Amass Zombies by paying three generic mana and one blue mana. When played, the spell places three +1/+1 counters on an Army you control, simultaneously granting that Army the Zombie creature type. If you do not currently control an Army, the effect first creates a 0/0 black Zombie Army creature token before applying the counters. This interaction provides flexibility in deck construction, allowing players to build their zombie presence from scratch or enhance existing forces. Collectors of trading card game items often seek out specific set variants like this foil version. While Relentless Advance is a common rarity, the foil treatment distinguishes it from non-foil prints in the same set. For those building comprehensive collections, acquiring the foil versions of common cards adds a layer of visual consistency and prestige to the finished product. The card's straightforward rules text and utility in zombie-themed decks make it a practical addition to many collections, while the foil finish appeals to those who value aesthetic presentation in their card storage.
