What it does

When Acererak enters, if you haven't completed Tomb of Annihilation, return Acererak to its owner's hand and venture into the dungeon.

Whenever Acererak attacks, for each opponent, you create a 2/2 black Zombie creature token unless that player sacrifices a creature of their choice.

Provenance

Where it came from

Acererak the Archlich was released as part of the Secret Lair x Dungeons & Dragons: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms collaboration, celebrating the deep crossover between the tabletop RPG and Magic: The Gathering. The card represents one of Dungeons & Dragons' most iconic villains, an ancient lich known for his presence in the Tomb of Horrors module, designed to capture his relentless nature through mechanics that allow him to traverse dungeons repeatedly.

The artwork was commissioned from fantasy illustrator Tyler Jacobson, whose work is noted for its dramatic lighting and rich, visceral detail. Jacobson aimed to emphasize the chilling, skeletal majesty of Acererak, portraying him in a state of necrotic power. The card was well-received by players and collectors alike, particularly those invested in the flavor of the Dungeons & Dragons mythos, for successfully translating a classic tabletop encounter into a balanced and thematic card design.
