While the artwork isnt as on the nose as Crusade, its clear what the artists intentions were, especially considering that it was released as part of the Arabian Nights set
But, unlike that, this is Command Zone eligible and has another trigger option hence it hits higher
Whenever you attack with creatures with total power 6 or greater, you may turn a face-down creature you control face up
Adding even further incentive to play Drix Interlacer, this artifact pairs extremely well with Pinnacle Emissary openings, easily getting the card up to four counters
Once you accumulate three dread counters, it transforms into Shadows' Lair
The CMC restriction is mostly there to keep you from stopping Bolass zombie army tokens and from tapping down opposing Law-Rune Enforcers, but this card is the real deal
