Where it came from
Nighthowler was released in 2015 as part of the Plunder the Graves deck in the Commander 2015 set. This expansion was designed to provide players with preconstructed decks centered around graveyard mechanics and multicolor legends, specifically focusing on the Golgari color identity for this particular build. The card was created to capitalize on the 'power-from-the-graveyard' theme, acting as both a scalable threat and a recursive tool that grows stronger as creatures perish throughout the game.
The card features artwork by Nils Hamm, whose illustrative style often leans into atmospheric, gothic, and ethereal fantasy. His design for the Nighthowler emphasizes a haunting, spectral aesthetic that aligns with the card’s 'bestow' mechanic, allowing it to function either as a standalone creature or an enchantment that buffs another unit. Upon its release, the card was well-received by the Commander community for its versatility and its ability to act as a potent finisher in late-game scenarios where graveyards have become sufficiently populated.
