Wake the Dead is a strategic card that can be used to surprise opponents during their combat phase. By allowing you to bring back creatures from the graveyard to the battlefield instantaneously, it can be used to block or utilize "enters the battlefield" effects to disrupt the opponent's plans or to gain advantage. Since the creatures are sacrificed at the beginning of the next end step, it's a temporary measure and can synergize with cards that benefit from creatures dying or entering the graveyard. The artwork by Christopher Moeller likely captures the eerie moment when the creatures are summoned back from the dead.
