Where it came from
Casualties of War was released in 2019 as part of the Magic: The Gathering set War of the Spark. The set focused on the climactic battle between the Gatewatch and the planeswalker Nicol Bolas on the plane of Ravnica. As a rare sorcery, the card mechanically reflects the total devastation of the battlefield during this conflict, allowing players to destroy a wide variety of permanent types in a single move.
The card features artwork by illustrator Johannes Voss, who sought to capture the overwhelming scale of the conflict. The visual composition emphasizes the chaos and destruction inherent in the storyline, depicting the ruination of the cityscape. It was generally well-received by players for its thematic resonance and its utility in Commander formats, where its versatility as a high-cost removal spell remains highly valued.
