Provenance

Where it came from

Despoiler of Souls was released in 2015 as part of the Duel Decks: Nissa vs. Ob Nixilis set. The Duel Decks series was a long-running product line designed to provide players with two balanced, pre-constructed decks built around a thematic conflict between two iconic Planeswalkers, in this case, the nature-attuned elf Nissa Revane and the demonic, power-hungry Ob Nixilis.

The card was illustrated by Greg Staples, an artist known for his dark and moody aesthetic within the Magic: The Gathering multiverse. For this piece, Staples employed a visceral, gothic style to capture the essence of a creature fueled by the graveyard, emphasizing the necrotic and relentless nature of the character to fit the aggressive, resource-draining theme of Ob Nixilis's deck.
