Where it came from
Josu Vess, Lich Knight originally appeared in the 2018 set Dominaria as a manifestation of Liliana Vess's brother, who was resurrected as a lich under the influence of the Cabal. The card was reimagined for the 2023 March of the Machine Commander set as part of a series showcasing pivotal characters amidst the Multiversal invasion. This specific printing features an updated aesthetic intended to reflect the high-stakes, epic scale of the Phyrexians' assault on Dominaria.
The artwork for this iteration was crafted to emphasize the character's dark, necromantic power and his command over the undead forces of his home plane. By integrating him into the supplemental Commander release, Wizards of the Coast aimed to provide players with a thematic anchor for black-aligned zombie tribal decks, building upon his established mechanical identity as a high-cost finisher that rewards players for generating massive amounts of mana.
