Where it came from
Hired Blade was originally printed as part of the Core Set 2019 expansion for Magic: The Gathering, which was released by Wizards of the Coast in July 2018. Designed to fit the mechanical needs of the limited environment, the card represents the black-aligned archetype of assassins and mercenaries common in fantasy settings. It features an activated ability that grants the creature deathtouch, a thematic choice intended to mirror the lethality of a professional killer.
The card’s artwork was illustrated by Volkan Baga, who is recognized for his contribution to numerous fantasy properties and tabletop games. His depiction of the Hired Blade captures the gritty, shadowed aesthetic typical of Magic’s villainous characters. When the card was later included in The List—a curated selection of reprints inserted into modern booster packs—it served as a recurring thematic element, allowing newer players to encounter classic core set designs within contemporary play contexts.
