Soulcoil Viper (The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Near Mint Foil

Coiled Resurrection

Soulcoil Viper is the kind of tool that earns a slot in black graveyard strategies. For {2}{B} you get a 2 3 Snake that trades board presence for a guaranteed return engine. Tap it and pay a black mana, sacrifice it, and you put a creature from your graveyard onto the battlefield with a finality counter. That counter changes how removal interacts with the creature and gives you a measured way to extend threats without opening an infinite loop.

In Lost Caverns of Ixalan play patterns this Viper works well with sacrifice outlets and tempo plays. Use it to recast a key attacker after a board wipe or to reanimate a utility creature that needs only one more turn. The printed reminder about exile on death matters for sequencing. It is straightforward to play and easy to plan around which makes it reliable in both casual lists and tighter grinders who expect the long game.
