What it does
At the beginning of your upkeep, you lose 1 life and create a 1/1 black Faerie Rogue creature token with flying.
In Lorwyn's brief evenings, the sun pauses at the horizon long enough for a certain species of violet to bloom with the fragrance of mischief.

Where it came from
Bitterblossom was first introduced in the 2008 Morningtide expansion for Magic: The Gathering, designed by Aaron Forsythe as a powerful enchantment that generates a steady stream of faerie tokens at the cost of life. The card quickly defined the competitive landscape of its era, becoming a central piece of the 'Faeries' archetype that dominated tournament play for years. Its ability to provide both board presence and a clock made it a high-utility staple, and its enduring popularity led to its inclusion in the Modern Masters 2015 set.
The artwork for the card was created by Rebecca Guay, whose distinct, ethereal watercolor style was instrumental in establishing the visual identity of the Lorwyn-Shadowmoor block. Guay sought to capture the melancholic and sinister nature of the faerie theme, focusing on a dark, dreamlike aesthetic that departed from more traditional fantasy tropes. The design was widely praised for its thematic depth and artistic departure, cementing its status as one of the most iconic pieces of card art in the game's history.
