Provenance

Where it came from

Deathlace was released in 1993 as part of the Unlimited Edition for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Originally debuting in the Alpha and Beta print runs, the Unlimited set served as the second major printing of the game to satisfy the intense, rapid demand that followed its introduction. As one of the five 'lace' cards, it was designed to allow players to change the color of a target permanent to black, a niche utility effect intended to interact with color-specific mechanics of the early game.

The card features artwork by Dan Frazier, a pivotal illustrator in Magic’s history known for his distinct, expressive style during the game's formative years. While the 'lace' cycle was rarely featured in competitive decks due to its narrow strategic application, these cards remain significant artifacts for collectors documenting the complete evolution of the base game's design. The aesthetic reflects the high-fantasy, sometimes dark visual language established by Wizards of the Coast to define the identity of their inaugural set.
