Where it came from
Awaken the Honored Dead was released as part of the Tarkir Dragonstorm promotional series in 2014, coinciding with the launch of the Khans of Tarkir expansion for Magic: The Gathering. This set explored the theme of time travel and the alteration of history within the Tarkir plane, with the Dragonstorm promos specifically rewarding players for their participation in launch events. The card serves as an enchantment that utilizes the set's delve mechanic, allowing players to pay for its mana cost by exiling cards from their graveyard, reflecting the theme of drawing power from past fallen combatants.
The artwork was commissioned from Clint Lockwood, a seasoned illustrator known for his dynamic and atmospheric work within the fantasy genre. Lockwood’s design focuses on the necromantic aspect of the Sultai Brood, the faction associated with the card, capturing the eerie, transformative energy of spirits being pulled back into the physical realm. The card was received by the player base as a niche tactical tool, valued more for its thematic resonance with the Sultai color identity and graveyard-centric gameplay than as a staple for high-level competitive constructed play.
