Where it came from
Bess, Soul Nourisher was released in 2022 as part of the Streets of New Capenna Commander set. The character is portrayed as a denizen of the Art Deco-inspired metropolis of New Capenna, reflecting the set’s central theme of urban criminal factions and magical organized crime. Mechanically, the card was designed to support creature-token strategies, rewarding players for assembling a wide board of smaller entities.
The card was illustrated by Wisnu Tan, who captured Bess in an elegant, stylized manner consistent with the 1920s-inspired aesthetic of the plane. The design team focused on creating a commander that grows in power alongside its companions, emphasizing a nurturing role that contrasts with the gritty, power-hungry nature of the city's broader narrative. It was well-received by players looking for a Selesnya-colored commander specifically tailored for token-focused archetypes.
