Makeshift Mannequin Black Card in Magic the Gathering

Video Transcript

"MIKE LOPEZ: Hi. I'm Mike Lopez with Expert Village, and today we're going to be discussing the black color from "Magic: The Gathering". And now I'm going to discuss Makeshift Mannequin. Makeshift Mannequin is an instant by the Lorwyn set. You see this is not attached to a creature type which means it is not a tribal instant and it is an uncommon which means it cost you 40 to 50 cents at your gaming store if you do not get it in a booster pack which generally cost you $3.89 per booster pack. Makeshift Mannequin, to play it costs you 3 and a black which means the converted mana cost is four and what it does is that it allows you to return target creature card in the graveyard to play with a Mannequin counter on it which means you take a creature directly from your graveyard and put it right back into play, but you put the Mannequin counter on. Now, what this means is as long as that creature has a Mannequin counter on it or drains if you have something to get rid of the Mannequin counter you can, but if it has a Mannequin counter on it, then it has when this creature becomes a target of a spell or ability sacrifice. Now, this is any spell or any ability whether it be boosting or taking down, or if you even if it's for 1, even if its 12/12 if it has a Mannequin counter on it, since it became the target of that ability, then you would have to sacrifice that creature. Once again, this a good bounce effect card; however, you must be careful with the Mannequin, Mannequin counter on it, and remember that that creature could be instantly destroyed and you will have to sacrifice it."
