Provenance

Where it came from

Bane Alley Blackguard was released in 2013 as part of the Dragon's Maze expansion for Magic: The Gathering. As a common-rarity creature card, it was designed to support the set's mechanics surrounding the Dimir guild, specifically focusing on the cipher keyword and evasion strategies. It reflects the gritty, urban aesthetic of Ravnica, the plane-wide city setting that characterizes this cycle of sets.

The card's artwork was illustrated by Seb McKinnon, a prominent figure in the game's artistic history known for his distinctively ethereal and atmospheric style. In this piece, McKinnon captures the shadowy, clandestine nature of the Blackguard, emphasizing the gloom of the Ravnican undercity. The card is frequently cited by players for its thematic consistency and the moody visual storytelling typical of the Dimir guild's design identity.
