Provenance

Where it came from

Imperial Hellkite was released in 2024 as part of the Murders at Karlov Manor Commander set, a supplemental expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. The set was designed to lean into a noir-inspired, mystery-solving theme set within the Ravnica plane, featuring mechanical designs intended to support multiplayer social play and tactical deck-building.

The creature was illustrated by artist Wisnu Tan, who utilized a dramatic, high-contrast style typical of modern fantasy card art. The design of the Hellkite serves to provide players with a powerful dragon capable of utilizing the 'concealed' mechanics introduced in the set, aimed at rewarding players who can maintain board control while navigating the set's investigative narrative arc.
