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 released in 2008 as part of the Morningtide expansion for Magic: The Gathering. Designed as a tribal enchantment for the Faerie creature type, it was created during a period when Wizards of the Coast was emphasizing deep mechanical synergies within the Lorwyn and Morningtide block. The card quickly became a foundational element of competitive play due to its ability to generate recurring creature tokens at a low resource cost, balanced by a incremental life-drain effect.
The evocative illustration was created by Rebecca Guay, a long-time contributor to the game whose distinct, ethereal watercolor style was highly favored by fans. Guay sought to capture the melancholic and slightly sinister nature of the Lorwyn-Shadowmoor transition, depicting a sense of dark beauty that matched the card's mechanical function. It remains one of the most recognizable pieces of art in the game's history, often cited for its influence on the aesthetic direction of later black-aligned cards.
