Description
Thwart the Grave is an uncommon sorcery from the 2020 Magic: The Gathering Zendikar Rising set, designated as card number 130. This foil version of the card features a distinct metallic finish that highlights its black mana identity and sorcery type. The card requires a mana cost of four generic and two black mana, totaling a mana value of six, to cast. The card's design centers on a powerful graveyard interaction mechanic. It offers a significant casting discount of one mana for each creature in your party, which is defined by the presence of a Cleric, Rogue, Warrior, and Wizard in your group. This synergy encourages players to build decks that utilize diverse creature types to reduce the spell's cost. Upon resolution, Thwart the Grave allows you to return a target creature card and up to one target Cleric, Rogue, Warrior, or Wizard creature card from your graveyard directly to the battlefield. This effect provides a potent way to recover key resources from the discard pile, making it a notable inclusion for collectors and players who appreciate strategic depth. Created by artist Wylie Beckert, the Zendikar Rising expansion brought a fresh aesthetic to the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. The foil treatment of Thwart the Grave adds a layer of visual appeal, making it a desirable item for those who collect specific cards from this era. Whether you are building a comprehensive collection of the Zendikar Rising set or seeking powerful black sorceries, this card represents a distinct piece of the game's 2020 landscape.
