Provenance

Where it came from

The Daggerback Basilisk was released as part of the Magic: The Gathering Core Set 2019, which launched in July 2018. Designed to serve as a foundational set for players of all skill levels, the collection focused on highlighting the lore of the elder dragon Nicol Bolas. The inclusion of creatures like the basilisk within the green color identity emphasizes the natural, predatory ecosystem found within the game's expansive fantasy setting.

The card's illustration was crafted by artist Milivoj Ćeran, who has contributed numerous pieces to the franchise. The design intent focuses on the creature's menacing, armored physiology, reinforcing its mechanical ability to grow stronger through the presence of +1/+1 counters. Upon its release, it was well-received by limited-format players as a reliable, mid-game creature capable of stabilizing the board state.
