Where it came from
Lurking Predators was originally printed as a rare enchantment in the Magic: The Gathering Commander 2016 release. This set was designed to expand the multiplayer Commander format, featuring preconstructed decks built around the 'partner' mechanic. The card itself was originally introduced in the 2008 Morningtide expansion but found a thematic home in the 2016 Green-based decks, which focused on creature-heavy strategies and land manipulation.
The card features artwork by the illustrator Jesper Ejsing. His interpretation of the card captures the thematic essence of a forest predator waiting to strike, utilizing a style characterized by dynamic lighting and expressive character design. Upon its initial release and subsequent inclusion in Commander 2016, the card was well-received by players for its ability to generate significant board advantage, becoming a staple inclusion in casual green decks due to its potential to cheat high-cost creatures into play during an opponent's turn.
