Provenance

Where it came from

Boarded Window was released in 2021 as part of the Innistrad: Crimson Vow expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The card was designed to mechanically represent the gothic horror themes of the set, specifically the struggle of humans attempting to secure their homes against the encroaching threats of the plane's vampires and monsters. Its existence highlights the set's focus on defensive survival strategies within the lore of the Vow storyline.

The artwork for the card was created by artist Igor Kieryluk, who utilized a moody, claustrophobic aesthetic to emphasize the vulnerability of those hiding within. The design process focused on translating the flavor of a barricaded dwelling into a functional artifact card, resulting in a piece that functions as a damage-reduction tool. Upon its release, it was noted by players as a thematic addition to the set's graveyard-centric and defensive gameplay environments.
