Provenance

Where it came from

Heart-Piercer Manticore was introduced in the 2017 Magic: The Gathering expansion set Amonkhet. The card was designed to support the set's graveyard-centric mechanics, specifically the 'embalm' and 'exert' keywords that characterized the flavor of this Egyptian-inspired plane. The token itself represents the creature created by the Manticore's ability, serving as a tactical piece of board utility during gameplay.

The art was commissioned to fit the aesthetic vision of the Amonkhet block, which emphasized a harsh, golden-hued desert landscape and the imposing, monolithic architecture of its gods. Illustrators for the set were tasked with depicting creatures that felt both magically construct-like and physically lethal, resulting in the Manticore's sharp, predatory design that has since become a recognizable piece of mid-era modern Magic iconography.
