Description
Released in 1997 as part of the Weatherlight set, Buried Alive is a black sorcery card that has earned a lasting reputation in the Magic: The Gathering universe. As the 63rd card in the set, it offers a powerful strategic option by allowing players to search their library for up to three creature cards and place them directly into their graveyard. This mechanic provides significant utility for decks focused on recursion and graveyard synergies, making it a functional asset in various game formats. Collectors appreciate this card not only for its gameplay impact but also for its place in one of the most celebrated expansions in the game's history. The card's enduring appeal lies in its simplicity and effectiveness. With a mana cost of two black mana and one generic mana, it is efficient and easy to cast. The flavor text, attributed to the character Crovax, adds depth to the card's narrative, connecting it to the rich lore of the Dominaria plane. For those building collections or seeking to complete the Weatherlight set, this uncommon sorcery represents a key component of the era's design philosophy.
