Where it came from
Heart-Piercer Manticore was introduced in the 2017 Magic: The Gathering expansion Amonkhet. The card was designed as part of a cycle of creatures that emphasize the set's themes of sacrifice and aggressive combat, utilizing a mechanic that rewards players for disposing of their own resources to deal direct damage. The promo version, collector number 138s, was distributed through the game's organized play programs, often appearing as a participation reward or store event prize.
The artwork for this specific iteration was crafted by Zack Stella, whose illustration captures the imposing, mythological nature of the manticore within the Egyptian-inspired aesthetic of the Amonkhet plane. The design intent focused on a striking visual that conveys the creature's lethal capabilities while adhering to the set’s vibrant, sun-drenched color palette. It was well-regarded by players for its utility in limited formats and its distinct, thematic art style that distinguished it from the standard-set variant.
