Where it came from
Netherborn Altar was originally released in the Commander 2020 set, designed as a thematic artifact centered around the sacrifice of creatures to recur powerful threats from the graveyard. The card reflects the grim, gothic aesthetic of the Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths release cycle, where the mechanics focused on mutation and the cycle of life and death.
The art, illustrated by Igor Kieryluk, leans into the visceral, dark fantasy style common to black-aligned Magic: The Gathering cards. Its inclusion in 'The List'—a curated selection of cards from the game's history inserted into Set Boosters—serves to keep the card accessible to players looking to bolster their graveyard-centric decks long after the initial Commander product run concluded.
