Call of the Mummy

Call of the Mummy was originally released in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game as part of the Dark Beginning 2 set, which functioned as a compilation expansion. This set was designed to reprint sought-after cards from the early stages of the game, specifically drawing from the Pharaonic Guardian and Magician's Force sets, allowing players to access staple cards that had previously been difficult to acquire.

The card features an illustration consistent with the aesthetic of the Undead-type support cards introduced during the game's expansion into deeper narrative themes. It was designed to provide players with a way to special summon Zombie-type monsters from the hand, a mechanic that became a cornerstone for Zombie-based deck strategies. As a common rarity card in the Dark Beginning 2 set, it was widely distributed, ensuring that players could easily integrate it into their collections.
