Provenance

Where it came from

Chained Throatseeker was released in May 2011 as part of the New Phyrexia set, the final installment of the Scars of Mirrodin block for Magic: The Gathering. The set depicts the total assimilation of the plane of Mirrodin by the Phyrexians, a nightmarish faction of biomechanical horrors. As a common card, it was designed to populate the Limited environment with the 'infect' mechanic, a signature trait of the set that forces players to balance traditional damage against poison counters, emphasizing the relentless, invasive nature of the Phyrexian aesthetic.

The card features artwork by Stephan Martiniere, a renowned concept artist known for his work in science fiction and fantasy. Martiniere’s design focuses on the disturbing synthesis of biology and cold metal that defines New Phyrexia. By emphasizing the creature's bound, predatory form, the illustration serves to reinforce the set's narrative of corruption and structural subjugation, blending surrealist imagery with the functional requirements of a trading card game layout.
