Where it came from
Embalmer's Tools was introduced in the 2017 Magic: The Gathering set Amonkhet, a block deeply inspired by ancient Egyptian mythology and themes of death and ritual. The artifact reflects the set's central mechanical focus on the graveyard, allowing players to activate the abilities of creatures in their graveyard as if they were on the battlefield. This design was intended to simulate the process of preservation and resurrection central to the plane's lore, where citizens prepare for the afterlife under the rule of the dragon-god Nicol Bolas.
The card features illustration by Igor Kieryluk, who captured the grim, utilitarian aesthetic of the embalming process. The visual design emphasizes the stark, clinical nature of the tools against the ornate, golden backdrop of the Amonkhetian funerary rites. Upon release, the card was received as a niche but effective utility piece for decks focusing on graveyard synergies, particularly those centered on the exert and embalm mechanics that defined the set's unique gameplay identity.
