Where it came from
Corpse Dance was originally printed as a rare card in the 1998 Tempest expansion for Magic: The Gathering, designed by Mark Rosewater. It was later included in the 1999 World Championship Decks, a series of pre-constructed products that replicated the exact 75-card tournament decks used by the top players at the previous year's World Championship. This specific version, marked with the collector number js116, belongs to the deck list piloted by Janosch Stamm.
The card features artwork by rk post, an iconic illustrator for the game known for his macabre and gothic aesthetic. The design goal for Corpse Dance was to provide a graveyard recursion spell with a unique temporary reanimation effect, fitting the 'buyback' mechanic introduced in the Tempest block. The 1999 World Championship print is distinguished by its gold-bordered card back and the player's signature on the face, marking it as a commemorative piece meant for display and casual play rather than sanctioned tournament use.
