Provenance

Where it came from

The Blight Sickle was released as part of the Shadowmoor expansion for Magic: The Gathering in 2008. The set was designed to explore a world shifting into perpetual twilight, characterized by themes of decay, corruption, and distorted nature, which directly influenced the grim, utilitarian design of this artifact card.

The artwork was commissioned from John Avon, a prominent landscape artist in the Magic community. Avon sought to capture the oppressive, gloomy atmosphere of the Shadowmoor plane by emphasizing the rusted, jagged aesthetic of the weapon against a stark and fading backdrop. Upon release, the card was received as a functional, if standard, limited-format equipment, valued for its ability to grant creature buffs through the 'wither' mechanic.
