Destroy target creature. If that creature was a Human, you gain life equal to its toughness.
The faint smell of cloves, the rustling of the wind, and a paralyzing descent into an airless, fathomless tomb.

Where it came from
Death's Caress was released in February 2012 as part of the Dark Ascension expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. The set was designed to continue the gothic horror narrative of the Innistrad block, focusing on the encroaching darkness and the struggle of humanity against the undead. Mechanically, the card serves as a representative piece of black-aligned removal, emphasizing the set's thematic preoccupation with morbidity and the graveyard as a resource.
The artwork for the card was illustrated by Nils Hamm, who contributed significantly to the visual identity of the Innistrad block. Hamm employed his signature painterly, atmospheric style to capture the grim nature of a necromantic curse, aiming to evoke a sense of dread fitting for the gothic horror genre. Upon its release, the card was widely utilized in Limited formats for its ability to exile creatures, cementing its status as a reliable utility card within the drafting environments of the era.
