Where it came from
Necrogenesis was originally introduced in the Shards of Alara set in 2008 as part of the Jund shard's distinctive mechanical identity. The card reflects the brutal, cyclical nature of the Jund landscape, where the consumption of the dead is a literal necessity for survival. It was designed as an enchantment that provides a consistent source of creature tokens while simultaneously disrupting the graveyard-based strategies of opponents, serving as a tactical tool that rewards players for managing the flow of creatures into the bin.
The Modern Masters 2015 version, featuring art by Cyril Van Der Haegen, was included in this reprint set to provide limited formats with a reliable source of graveyard interaction and token generation. The card is noted for its utility in grindy, board-stall environments, where the ability to convert dead resources into a steady stream of 1/1 Saproling tokens can slowly tilt the game in the controller's favor. Its inclusion in this set was aimed at balancing the power levels of the draft environment while providing a flavor-appropriate staple for graveyard-themed decks.
