Reaper's Call

Reaper's Call was introduced as part of The Hunted, the sophomore expansion set for the competitive trading card game that sought to solidify the franchise's dark, gothic aesthetic. Released to bridge the gap between initial mechanical foundations and more aggressive, strategy-focused gameplay, this common action card was designed to function as an accessible tool for players to disrupt opponent momentum during the mid-game phase.

The card’s visual direction was handled by the studio’s internal concept team, who aimed to evoke a sense of inevitable dread through stark, high-contrast ink work. By stripping back color palettes and focusing on the silhouette of the central reaper figure, the illustrators intended to ensure the card remained readable even amidst the visual clutter of a match. Upon release, it was well-received by the community for its utilitarian role in deck-building, quickly becoming a staple for budget-conscious players seeking to counter high-threat units.
