Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
The Sound of Drums wears its theme on its sleeve: this eerie aura goads an enchanted creature—forcing it to attack if able and forbidding it from attacking you—and then doubles any combat damage that creature would deal, turning someone else’s threat into amplified chaos. That combination makes the card especially useful in multiplayer Commander or any political/chaos red build that profits from redirecting violence rather than controlling it; slap it on a big trample or lifelink beater and you can swing huge life swings or finish off a third player while remaining relatively safe. The {2}{R} recursion gives persistent value, so build around graveyard interaction and cheap ways to reattach or recur the aura (or include sac/bounce outlets to trigger reuse). Specific synergy: target trample or lifelink creatures and combine with cards that reward inflicted combat damage, or include repeatable graveyard recursion and protection so The Sound of Drums is a recurring pressure piece in aggressive midrange or chaotic multiplayer shells.
