Where it came from
Join the Dead was released as part of the 2023 expansion set The Lost Caverns of Ixalan for Magic: The Gathering. The card was designed as a black-aligned removal spell that leverages the set's graveyard-focused mechanics, specifically the 'descend' keyword, which rewards players for having permanent cards in their graveyard. Its inclusion in the set reflects the exploration-themed narrative of Ixalan, where deep, subterranean mysteries and necromantic forces are central to the subterranean landscape.
The artwork for the card was provided by illustrator Campbell White. The design was crafted to visually represent the concept of forced exhumation, depicting the spectral forces of the Ixalan underworld pulling figures into the earth. It is generally regarded as a functional utility card within the set's limited environment, praised by players for its efficiency in managing larger threats when the game reaches the later stages.
