Where it came from
Dark Impostor was originally released in the 2012 Dark Ascension expansion, but the version included in the Commander 2017 set acts as a functional reprint designed to support the Vampiric Bloodlust deck. Commander 2017 was the first series of preconstructed decks organized around specific creature types, and the inclusion of Dark Impostor provided players with a repeatable removal and exile mechanic that scales effectively in the multiplayer format.
The card features artwork by Johannes Voss, who rendered the vampire with a haunting, ethereal aesthetic that emphasizes its shape-shifting nature. Voss utilized a muted, atmospheric color palette to capture the character's cold, predatory essence, which aligned with the Gothic horror themes prevalent in the Innistrad plane. The design was well-received by the player base for its versatility, offering both board control and the unique ability to absorb the power and activated abilities of defeated creatures.
