Altanak Awakes
Altanak, the Thrice-Called brings a practical engine to graveyard strategies. This Near Mint Uncommon from Duskmourn House of Horror fits into midrange or sacrificial builds where recurring bodies matter. Altanak enters the battlefield with an effect that pressures opponents to answer it or face steady value accrual. Experienced players will note the card trades immediate tempo for ongoing board presence and synergies with death triggers and reanimation pieces.
The card reads like a toolbox rather than a bomb. Altanak, the Thrice-Called pairs cleanly with token makers and sacrifice outlets and rewards a tight sequencing of removal and recursion. The flavor sits in Duskmourns corridors where echoes answer a summon thrice over. Use it to lock incremental advantage and to pivot between controlling the board and enabling a late game creature flood.
