What it does
Sacrifice this creature: You gain life equal to the life you've lost this turn. (Damage causes loss of life.)
"We have a proud history of self-sacrifice. But it is easy, in these bleak times, to find one among us who is eager to die for any cause."— Tavalus, acolyte of Korlis

Where it came from
Children of Korlis was released in 2006 as part of the Time Spiral expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The set was designed as a celebration of the game's history, featuring mechanics that referenced older cards and lore-heavy flavor text that tied into the game's deep narrative roots. This specific card represents the survivors of the nation of Korlis, a civilization destroyed by the Phyrexians, grounding the card's mechanics—which involve sacrificing one's health for a greater gain—in the desperate, resilient spirit of its source mythology.
The artwork was provided by Quinton Hoover, a foundational illustrator whose distinct, stained-glass aesthetic became a visual staple of the game's early identity. Hoover employed bold, dark outlines and vibrant, layered colors to evoke a sense of tragic grandeur, perfectly aligning with the card's theme of sacrifice. Within the player community, the card is remembered for its unique utility in specific combo decks, where its ability to reset a player's life total provides a critical strategic edge despite its common rarity.
