Where it came from
Originally introduced in the 2010 Worldwake expansion, Basilisk Collar was designed as an artifact equipment card that grants both deathtouch and lifelink to the equipped creature. This combination of keywords was intended to make even the smallest creature a significant threat on the battlefield, providing both a deterrent for attackers and a source of recovery for the player. The mechanical identity of the card stems from the ancient mythical basilisk, a creature capable of causing death with a single glance.
The Modern Masters 2017 version features artwork by Howard Lyon, who took over the illustration duties for this reprint. Lyon’s painterly, detailed style emphasizes the ornate, slightly menacing aesthetic of the collar, grounding the item in the high-fantasy tradition of Magic: The Gathering. As part of the 2017 set, the card was curated to provide structural support for draft environments, cementing its status as a staple utility artifact that remains relevant across multiple formats.
