Where it came from
Magus of the Abyss was first introduced in the 1997 Magic: The Gathering expansion 'Legends'. The card was designed to be a functional creature-based version of the iconic, powerful enchantment The Abyss, which had become infamously difficult to acquire on the secondary market. By translating the enchantment's ability to destroy a non-artifact creature each turn into a creature card, the designers provided players with a recurring, albeit vulnerable, board-control mechanic.
This specific iteration, numbered 97 in the 2020 Double Masters set, features updated frame aesthetics while retaining the original dark, atmospheric intent of the card's theme. The art serves as a tribute to the shadowy, grim imagery associated with the Black color identity in the game's lore. Upon its release in the original set, the card was received as a niche but effective tactical tool, and its inclusion in the Double Masters compilation was aimed at providing collectors and players with a modernized presentation of a classic mechanical effect.
