Provenance

Where it came from

Golgari Germination first appeared in the Ravnica: City of Guilds set in 2005, designed to embody the mechanics of the Golgari Swarm, a guild focused on death and rebirth through the synergy of graveyard manipulation. The card reflects the lore of the Golgari, where every fallen creature nourishes the growth of fungal saprolings, a cycle of decay and regrowth that defines the guild's presence in the subterranean depths of Ravnica.

For the Modern Masters 2017 release, artist Svetlin Velinov provided a fresh interpretation of the card. Velinov sought to emphasize the gritty, organic aesthetic of the guild, utilizing his signature style to highlight the visceral transformation of organic matter into new life. As part of a set curated to bring classic cards to the modern competitive format, this printing was received as a functional and thematic nod to the enduring mechanics that define the black-green color pair in Magic: The Gathering.
