Provenance

Where it came from

The Everlasting Lich was released as part of the Mystery Booster Playtest Cards, a unique promotional set introduced by Wizards of the Coast in 2019. These cards were designed to be drafted within the Mystery Booster experience, serving as a nostalgic and experimental homage to the game's internal development process. By utilizing white-labeled, printer-style aesthetics, the set mimicked the rough drafts used by designers during the early stages of Magic: The Gathering playtesting.

The card was illustrated and designed by Aaron Forsythe, a longtime figure at Wizards of the Coast and a key architect of the modern design philosophy. The card’s design reflects a playful attempt to solve the mechanical frustrations of deck-building, offering a persistent, recursive creature that captures the chaotic, high-variance spirit of a playtest environment. It was received by the community as a prized curiosity, valued for its rarity and the authentic insight it provided into the studio's internal creative workflows.
