Provenance

Where it came from

The Death Stroke card was released as part of the 2004 Magic: The Gathering Beatdown Box Set. This product was designed to function as a self-contained, two-player dueling kit, allowing players to experience a thematic matchup between two iconic decks. The set served to reprint various cards from the game's history, placing them into a structured environment intended for immediate casual play.

The artwork for this card was provided by British illustrator Colin MacNeil, known for his work in the comic book industry, particularly with 2000 AD. MacNeil’s illustration style emphasizes the visceral, action-oriented nature of the card's effect, capturing a sense of kinetic violence that aligns with the sorcery's mechanics. The card is widely recognized within the player community as a staple of the Beatdown set’s distinct aesthetic identity.
