What it does

Choose a creature type. Draw a card for each permanent you control of that type.

Oona's song is like a twisted dinner chime. All the faeries return home, but it is Oona who feasts—on the stolen dreams and rumors they serve her.

Provenance

Where it came from

Distant Melody was released in 2021 as part of the Innistrad: Midnight Hunt Commander set. The card is a reprint of a classic Magic: The Gathering effect, originally debuting in the Morningtide expansion, designed to provide tribal decks with a way to refill their hand by drawing cards equal to the number of creatures they control that share a chosen creature type.

The artwork for this version was commissioned from Omar Rayyan, an artist known for his whimsical and often dark, storybook-influenced style. His depiction captures the gothic and eerie essence of the Innistrad plane, illustrating a haunting, ethereal figure amidst the fog-drenched landscape, which aligns with the set's thematic focus on horror tropes and folklore.
