Where it came from
The Kathari Bomber was originally printed in the Alara block expansion Shards of Alara in 2008, representing the Grixis shard of the multiverse. This set was defined by its focus on three-color combinations and distinct thematic identities for each region, with Grixis focusing on a bleak, necromantic landscape where life force is the primary currency. The card was designed as a thematic representation of the Kathari, a race of avian scavengers who thrive in the death-ridden environments of the plane, utilizing a mechanic that allows for a temporary sacrifice of creatures to deal direct damage.
The artwork for the Modern Masters 2017 edition retains the evocative, dark fantasy aesthetic established by the original release. This specific printing was included in the 2017 set to provide support for the limited environment, balancing the draft experience by offering aggressive creature options for players drafting the Grixis color identity. While the Kathari Bomber remains a niche card in constructed play, its inclusion in Modern Masters served as a nod to the deep lore of the Alara block and the mechanical design space of the late 2000s.
