Where it came from
Carnophage was released in 1998 as part of the Exodus expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Created by Wizards of the Coast, the set was designed to explore themes of dark magic and mechanical artifacts, with the card itself functioning as an aggressive, low-cost creature that requires a recurring life payment to remain on the battlefield, a mechanic thematic to its black-aligned nature.
The card features artwork by the illustrator Daren Bader, whose contribution captures the visceral and grotesque aesthetic characteristic of late-nineties fantasy horror imagery. Upon its release, the card became a staple in tournament-level aggressive decks, known by players as a 'slithering' creature that offered high efficiency for its cost despite its drawback.
