Where it came from
Fling was originally released in the Stronghold set in 1998, but this specific version appeared in the 2012 Planechase expansion. Planechase was designed as a supplement to the Commander format, featuring oversized planar cards that shifted the battlefield environment. This printing was included in the Night of the Ninja deck, a black-red tribal construct focused on rogues and ninjas, which utilized the card's ability to sacrifice a creature to deal direct damage as a strategic finish.
The artwork for this printing was provided by Paolo Parente, a renowned illustrator known for his dynamic, action-oriented style often seen in military-themed fantasy. Parente’s depiction captures the visceral intensity of the spell, focusing on the kinetic energy of a creature being launched. The card remained a staple common in many red-based decks, appreciated for its simplicity and the high-impact utility it offers during the final stages of a match.
