Call of the Haunted

Call of the Haunted was originally introduced during the early era of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game, designed as a foundational trap card that allows players to special summon a monster from their graveyard. It emerged during a period when graveyard manipulation was becoming a critical tactical element, serving as a staple utility card that provided players with a reliable way to recycle resources and maintain board presence throughout the shifting power creep of the game.

The card features an iconic, eerie illustration depicting a spectral hand reaching out from the earth, a visual motif that became synonymous with the game's darker aesthetic during the early 2000s. While this specific iteration, YS15-ENL27, was released as a common card within the 2015 Mega-Tin Mega Pack, it retains the classic mechanical design that has remained a fixture of competitive and casual play for decades due to its versatility and straightforward effect.
