Where it came from
Josu Vess, Lich Knight was introduced in the 2018 Dominaria set, reflecting a pivotal moment in the Magic: The Gathering storyline where the character Josu Vess, brother of the planeswalker Liliana Vess, is resurrected as a lich by the villainous Nicol Bolas. The card was designed to highlight the 'kicker' mechanic, allowing players to pay a significant amount of additional mana to generate a formidable army of zombie tokens, representing Josu's role as a commander of the undead.
The artwork, illustrated by Aleksi Briclot, captures the grim, gothic aesthetic associated with the character's tragic history and his allegiance to the dark arts. Upon its release, the card was well-received by players focusing on black-aligned tribal decks, particularly those built around zombie synergy, as it provides a powerful late-game threat that rewards players for accumulating large amounts of mana.
