Provenance

Where it came from

Dreadhorde Arcanist was released in 2019 as part of the Magic: The Gathering set War of the Spark. The card was designed to function within the set's central narrative, which depicts an invasion of the plane of Ravnica by the necromantic dragon-god Nicol Bolas, who raises fallen warriors into an undead army known as the Dreadhorde to execute his will.

The card features artwork by Wisnu Tan, who utilized a dark, ethereal aesthetic to capture the essence of a spellcaster capable of pulling magic from the graveyard. Upon its release, the card gained significant mechanical attention for its efficiency, eventually becoming a staple in competitive formats like Legacy and Modern due to its ability to repeatedly cast low-mana spells from the graveyard.
