Where it came from
Cover of Darkness was released in 2024 as part of the Magic: The Gathering 'Universes Beyond' collaboration featuring the Assassin's Creed franchise. This set was designed to integrate the narrative themes and iconic visual identity of the Ubisoft video game series into the established mechanics of the trading card game, with this specific card serving as a reprint of a classic black spell originally debuting in the 2002 'Onslaught' set.
The card features new artwork commissioned to align with the aesthetic of the Assassin's Creed universe, emphasizing the stealth and shadowy movements central to the game's protagonists. By recontextualizing the original effect within the visual language of the franchise, the design team aimed to bridge the gap between traditional fantasy tropes and the historical science-fiction setting of the Animus, a move that was largely welcomed by fans of both properties for its thematic cohesion.
