Provenance

Where it came from

The Greater Basilisk was released as part of the Magic 2011 core set, which debuted in the summer of 2010. Designed to serve as a foundational piece for the limited environment, the card exemplifies the set's focus on creature-based combat and evergreen mechanics like deathtouch, which was intended to provide a clear, intuitive threat for players to navigate during gameplay.

The card features artwork by James Ryman, an illustrator known for his dramatic, high-fantasy style. Ryman’s depiction of the basilisk emphasizes its reptilian ferocity and imposing scale, capturing the dangerous allure of the creature. Within the set, the card was positioned as a common-rarity utility creature, designed to be easily recognizable and functional for players participating in draft and sealed formats.
