Where it came from
Call of the Nightwing was originally released in the 2012 expansion Return to Ravnica as a common card featuring the Dimir guild's signature mechanic, cipher. The card was designed to reflect the shadowy, information-gathering nature of House Dimir, allowing players to replicate the effect of summoning a creature whenever they successfully land a strike on an opponent. Its inclusion in the 2018 GRN Guild Kits provided a consolidated, thematic look at the guild's history for players during the return to the plane of Ravnica.
The card’s illustration by Clint Cearley captures the eerie, avian-themed aesthetic of the Dimir. Cearley focused on the connection between the guild's surveillance network and their supernatural reach, utilizing a dark, atmospheric color palette that contrasts with the spectral glow of the summoned Nightwing. The card was well-received by limited players and casual fans of Dimir lore for its synergy with evasive creatures and its embodiment of the guild’s sneaky, methodical playstyle.
