Provenance

Where it came from

Excoriate was released in 2017 as part of the Archenemy: Nicol Bolas set, a standalone product designed for the Archenemy format. This format pits three players against one powerful 'archenemy,' and the set was specifically crafted to represent the iconic villain Nicol Bolas and his machinations on the plane of Amonkhet. The card was designed as a thematic removal spell, emphasizing the ruthless, flavor-heavy style typical of the Bolas-aligned cards in the set.

The card’s artwork was provided by Johann Bodin, a frequent contributor to Magic: The Gathering who often utilizes a dramatic, high-contrast style. In illustrating Excoriate, Bodin captured the brutal efficiency of a targeted magical strike, aligning with the card's mechanical function of permanently exiling a creature. Upon its release, the card was received as a solid, functional common that bolstered the theme of the preconstructed deck it inhabited.
