Where it came from
Disciple of Bolas first appeared in the Magic: The Gathering set Magic 2013, released in July 2012. It was designed as a rare creature that exemplified the ruthless philosophy of Nicol Bolas, the game's iconic Elder Dragon antagonist. The card reflects the Grixis color identity, emphasizing black mana's willingness to sacrifice resources, such as creatures, to gain significant card advantage and life.
The original illustration was created by Aleksi Briclot, who utilized sharp, dramatic lighting to capture the dark, cult-like atmosphere surrounding the character. As part of The List, this specific iteration (NCC-247) represents a curated reprint of the card. It is widely regarded by players as a staple for black-aligned Commander decks, praised for its ability to turn a battlefield presence into a massive influx of new cards.
