Where it came from
Afterlife was released in 1999 as part of the Mercadian Masques expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Developed by Wizards of the Coast, this set was themed around the mercantile plane of Mercadia, characterized by themes of political intrigue and commerce. The card serves as a thematic piece of white-aligned removal, reflecting the game's mechanics of transformation and balance by destroying a creature and replacing it with a spirit token.
The artwork was commissioned from illustrator Brian Snõddy, whose work throughout the late 1990s helped define the visual language of the game during its expansion period. Snõddy utilized a distinct illustrative style that emphasized character silhouette and ethereal lighting to convey the concept of a soul departing the physical realm. Upon its debut, the card was widely utilized in both casual and competitive formats for its utility as a reliable, efficient answer to problematic creatures.
