Where it came from
The Dauthi Slayer was released in 1997 as part of the Tempest expansion for Magic: The Gathering. Created during a period when Wizards of the Coast was experimenting with deeper mechanical complexity and interconnected set lore, this card introduced the shadow keyword. This mechanic represented creatures living in a dark, intangible dimension, allowing them to bypass most conventional combat interactions and reflecting the set's somber, planar-shifting thematic direction.
The card was illustrated by Greg Staples, whose work during this era helped define the moody, visceral aesthetic of the Tempest block. Staples sought to emphasize the ethereal and lethal nature of the Dauthi race through high-contrast shadows and jagged silhouettes. Upon its release, the card became a staple in aggressive black-aligned decks, praised by competitive players for its efficiency and unique evasion capabilities in the metagame of the late nineties.
