Where it came from
Fling was originally released as a rare instant in the 1999 Stronghold expansion for Magic: The Gathering. As a card that allows a player to sacrifice a creature to deal damage equal to its power to a target, it became a staple of 'red deck wins' strategies and combo archetypes. The DCI Promo version, numbered 50, was distributed through the Duelists' Conviction International organized play program, serving as a reward for tournament participation and league play during the early 2000s.
The artwork for this version was commissioned from Daren Bader, a prominent illustrator known for his dynamic and visceral depictions of fantasy combat. Bader’s design captures the frantic, destructive essence of the spell, focusing on the kinetic energy of the sacrifice mechanic. The promotional release was well-received by players at the time for its updated aesthetic and the utility of the card within competitive formats, cementing its place as a recognizable piece of Magic: The Gathering's promotional history.
