Wail of War — Mardu Echo
Wail of War is an efficient instant from Tarkir Dragonstorm that gives you a compact answer or a quick refill depending on the board state. Castable for two and a black mana, it serves as a small tempo play against wide attackers by weakening enemy creatures or as a recursion tool that returns up to two creature cards from your graveyard to your hand. The art shows a Mardu captain unleashing a war shriek across a plain and the card performs the same dual role in games where flexibility matters.
The card sits comfortably in midrange or graveyard focused builds where you need choices each turn. Use the -1 minus to blunt a swing or to clear a tough blocker mentally when your life total matters. When you prefer long term value, the return option refills your hand with creatures that fuel future turns. Near Mint condition and English language make this printing suitable for play and collection in Tarkir Dragonstorm sets. Consider Wail of War when you need an instant that flexes between disruption and recursion.
