What it does
When this creature enters, surveil 2. (Look at the top two cards of your library, then put any number of them into your graveyard and the rest on top of your library in any order.)
At the beginning of your upkeep, if this card is in your graveyard, you may pay 1 life. If you do, return it to your hand.
Coming back from the dead, like most things, gets easier with practice.

Where it came from
Master of Death was introduced in the Modern Horizons 2 set, released by Wizards of the Coast in 2021. This set was designed specifically to introduce powerful cards into the Modern format without them passing through the standard rotation, serving as a love letter to the history and mechanics of Magic: The Gathering. The card itself occupies a unique space, offering a recurring graveyard recursion ability that rewards players for self-milling and graveyard manipulation.
The artwork for this particular promotional version was created by John Stanko, who brought a vibrant, stylistic interpretation to the character. Stanko's approach departed from traditional high-fantasy realism, opting for a more expressive and bold aesthetic that highlights the macabre, ethereal nature of the card. Upon release, the card was well-received by players focusing on Dimir-colored control and graveyard-centric strategies, who appreciated its resilience and consistent value generation.
