Where it came from
Cruel Revival was released in 2015 as part of the Magic Origins set, which served as a narrative bridge exploring the backstories of five iconic Planeswalkers. The card was designed to reflect the flavor of the set, specifically focusing on the black-aligned magic associated with Liliana Vess and her manipulative mastery over death and the undead.
The artwork was commissioned from illustrator Nils Hamm, who is known for his ethereal and painterly approach to fantasy art. Hamm intended to evoke a sense of dark resurrection, visually representing the card's mechanical ability to return a zombie or creature from the graveyard to the hand while simultaneously removing an opposing creature from the battlefield.
