Inspiring Call

Description

Released in 2022 as part of the Magic: The Gathering Warhammer 40,000 Commander subset, Inspiring Call (card number 217) is an Uncommon Instant that appeals to fans of both the trading card game and the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Designed by Irina Nordsol, this card brings the chaotic energy of the Tyranids to the battlefield with a unique mechanical effect. The card’s flavor text highlights the commanding voice of a clamavus, reinforcing the biological and hive-mind themes central to the Tyranid faction. Mechanically, Inspiring Call offers a potent burst of card advantage and protection. When cast for {2}{G}, it allows the player to draw a card for each creature they control that has a +1/+1 counter on it. Simultaneously, those specific creatures gain indestructible until the end of the turn, meaning they cannot be destroyed by damage or effects that say "destroy." This combination of card filtering and temporary survivability makes it a valuable tool for strategies focused on counter-based creature synergies. Collectors often seek out this card to complete the Warhammer 40,000 Commander set or to appreciate its specific contribution to the Tyranid deck-building experience within the Commander format. Whether you are building a dedicated Tyranid deck or simply collecting rare cards from crossover sets, Inspiring Call represents a distinct piece of the Magic: The Gathering and Warhammer 40,000 collaboration.
