Where it came from
Cover of Darkness was released as part of the Magic: The Gathering Universes Beyond: Assassin's Creed set in 2024. This supplemental set was designed to integrate the iconic stealth and historical aesthetics of the Ubisoft video game franchise into the mechanics of the collectible card game, allowing players to experience the conflict between the Assassins and the Templars through established game archetypes.
The card’s illustration reflects the series' emphasis on atmospheric, shadow-bound movement, capturing the visual language of the franchise. It was designed to function as an enchantment that provides tactical advantages, mimicking the elusive nature of the assassins. The set overall was received by the community as a bridge between high-strategy tabletop gaming and the narrative-driven world of Altaïr and his successors, focusing on flavor-heavy design that honors the source material.
