Where it came from
Devouring Greed was originally released in the Champions of Kamigawa set in 2004, designed to support the spirit-tribal mechanics prevalent in the Kamigawa block. The card utilizes a sacrifice mechanic that rewards players for building a wide board of spirit creatures, turning a swarm of smaller units into a powerful late-game swing. This reprint in Modern Masters 2015 provided updated access to the card for the Modern format, specifically targeting draft environments that featured the spirit-based synergies established in the original block.
The art for this card, illustrated by Arnie Swekel, leans into the dark, ethereal aesthetic of the Japanese folklore-inspired Kamigawa setting. Swekel focused on depicting the consuming nature of the spirits, utilizing the color palette associated with black mana in the game to emphasize the card's predatory function. The piece was well-received for its atmospheric contribution to the set, effectively communicating the high-risk, high-reward nature of its sacrifice-based gameplay through haunting, visceral imagery.
