Provenance

Where it came from

Dralnu, Lich Lord was released in 2006 as part of the Time Spiral expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. The set was designed to lean heavily into the game's history, featuring mechanics and characters that paid homage to the early years of the franchise. Dralnu represents a figure from the lore of the Dominaria plane, specifically serving as a necromancer and a key antagonist within the Invasion storyline, where he served as an agent of the Phyrexians.

The card's artwork was commissioned from Greg Staples, a prolific artist known for his dark and atmospheric depictions within the game. Staples utilized a somber color palette and intricate linework to capture Dralnu's decaying, undead aesthetic as he looms over his minions. Upon its release, the card became a notable inclusion in competitive formats due to its powerful ability to provide flashback to spells in the graveyard, though its design also made it famously fragile, as players had to carefully manage its drawback of sacrificing permanents when Dralnu took damage.
