Where it came from
Awaken the Honored Dead is a rare enchantment card released in the Magic: The Gathering expansion set Khans of Tarkir in 2014. It was designed to reflect the set's central theme of time travel and the contrasting timelines of the plane of Tarkir, specifically highlighting the necromantic traditions of the Sultai Brood clan. The card's mechanics revolve around the 'delve' keyword, encouraging players to exile cards from their graveyard to lower the casting cost, effectively representing the clan's ability to draw power from their deceased ancestors.
The artwork was provided by fantasy illustrator Clint Lockwood, who captures the somber and oppressive aesthetic of the Sultai through a composition focused on spectral emergence and dark magic. Upon its release, the card was analyzed primarily for its utility in graveyard-centric strategies within the Standard format. While it did not become a defining staple of competitive play, it remains a notable piece for collectors interested in the thematic identity and visual world-building established for the Tarkir block.
