Where it came from
Fling was originally introduced in the Stronghold expansion of Magic: The Gathering in 1998, designed as a direct-damage sorcery that forces a player to sacrifice a creature to deal damage equal to its power. The card was created during a period where Wizards of the Coast was experimenting with high-risk, high-reward mechanics that could swing the momentum of a game instantly, reflecting the aggressive red-aligned playstyle of the era.
The version included in the 2016 Planechase Anthology, bearing collector number 44, utilizes the updated frame design that became standard in modern Magic sets. The artwork, originally by Kev Walker for its initial release, depicts a visceral, dynamic scene of a creature being launched, aligning with the card's function of weaponizing one's own units to secure a final blow against an opponent.
