Where it came from
Dread Summons was first introduced to the Magic: The Gathering card game in the Commander 2014 set, but this specific version originates from the 2022 New Capenna Commander expansion. The card functions as a powerful graveyard-synergy sorcery, designed to force opponents to mill cards while populating the battlefield with zombie tokens based on the number of creature cards put into the graveyard this way.
The artwork for this particular printing was illustrated by Campbell White, who captured the grim, necromantic aesthetic of the effect. By tying the card into the New Capenna release, the design leans into the thematic atmosphere of the set's dark, organized-crime-inspired urban landscape, emphasizing themes of resurrection and overwhelming force that are central to the black-aligned strategies in commander play.
