Souls of the Lost (Extended Art) (The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Light Play Foil

Echoes Beneath the Cavern

Souls of the Lost is a compact but versatile addition to graveyard focused decks. The card forces an upfront decision since you must either discard a card or sacrifice a permanent to cast it. Once on the battlefield the creature scales with the permanents in your graveyard so it becomes more threatening as your deck commits resources to the yard. The extended art light play foil gives the spirit a subtle sheen that highlights the spectral faces and suits table play without drawing undue attention.

In play Souls of the Lost rewards deliberate sequencing. You can fuel its growth by sacrificing low value permanents or discarding cards when you have redundancy. Its Fathomless descent ability makes it a reliable late game threat in a deck that can reliably put permanents into the graveyard. The card reads and behaves predictably which helps when you plan turns ahead around graveyard count and removal lines.
