Where it came from
Fling was first introduced as an uncommon card in the Stronghold expansion, released by Wizards of the Coast in 1998 as the second set in the Rath Cycle. The card mechanic, which requires a player to sacrifice a creature to deal damage equal to its power, serves as a high-risk, high-reward strategy that leans into the aggressive, red-aligned philosophy of throwing resources at an opponent to secure a victory.
The original illustration for this card was created by artist Greg Staples, who captured the visceral, explosive nature of the card's effect with a dynamic depiction of a goblin launching a fellow creature toward a target. It was designed to provide red decks with a unique form of reach, and its reception was strong enough that it became a recurring effect in the game, eventually evolving into a staple archetype for red players that has been reprinted in numerous subsequent sets.
