Provenance

Where it came from

Banehound was released in May 2019 as part of the Magic: The Gathering set War of the Spark. The card was designed as a low-cost, aggressive creature within the black color identity, featuring the keyword mechanics lifelink and haste. Its inclusion in this set was tied to the overarching narrative of the War of the Spark, which depicted a massive planar conflict on Ravnica where various creatures were drafted or created to serve the multiversal villain Nicol Bolas.

The artwork for the card was illustrated by Daarken, a long-time contributor to the Magic: The Gathering visual identity. The design emphasizes the creature's menacing, canine-like nature, fitting the aesthetic of the Shadowblade or zombie-themed forces present in the Ravnica setting. Upon release, the card was received as a functional, efficient utility creature for aggressive deck archetypes, valued by players for its ability to provide early-game pressure and incidental life gain.
