Call of the Haunted

Call of the Haunted was originally introduced to the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game in the Pharaoh Servant expansion in 2002. As a staple Continuous Trap card, it allows players to special summon a monster from their graveyard, providing essential utility for maintaining board presence and recovering resources. Its enduring design, featuring a simple but evocative illustration of a skeletal hand emerging from the earth, reflects the dark fantasy aesthetic that defined the game's early visual identity.

The version included in the Rise of the True Dragons Structure Deck, identified as SR02-EN039, was released in 2016 as part of a product line centered on Dragon-type archetypes. While the card had seen various rarity shifts and errata over its long history, this common printing served as a functional reprint, ensuring that players utilizing the deck had access to a reliable method for graveyard recursion. Its inclusion underscores the card's status as a fundamental building block of competitive and casual play throughout the game's evolution.
