Where it came from
The Basilisk Collar was originally released in the 2010 Worldwake expansion, representing an artifact equipment card in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. It was designed to provide creatures with both deathtouch and lifelink, a potent combination that allowed smaller, less significant creatures to become formidable threats on the battlefield. The item gained enough popularity to be included in the Modern Masters 2017 set, which curated iconic cards from throughout the game's history to support the Modern format.
The artwork for the card was created by Aleksi Briclot, a prolific fantasy artist known for his atmospheric and detailed style. Briclot’s illustration captures the titular collar as a menacing, ornate piece of gear, conveying the dangerous nature of the item through its sharp aesthetics. Within the player community, the card is respected for its utility in defensive strategies and its ability to stabilize a player's life total, leading to its enduring presence in various deck archetypes.
