Where it came from
Nightshade Assassin was originally released as part of the Planar Chaos expansion in 2007, later appearing in the 2021 Time Spiral Remastered set. The card was designed to highlight the set's central mechanic of 'timeshifted' cards, which reimagined existing game concepts through the lens of alternate color identities and philosophies. As an uncommon creature, it features the madness ability, allowing players to cast it for a reduced cost by discarding it, which synergized with the aggressive discard-themed strategies prevalent in that environment.
The artwork for this version was provided by Alan Pollack, a long-time contributor to the game known for his atmospheric and character-driven fantasy illustrations. Pollack’s design for the Nightshade Assassin emphasizes the stealth and lethal precision inherent to the card’s identity as a rogue. His work was well-regarded by players for bringing a sense of classic fantasy aesthetic to the card, effectively capturing the shadowy, subterranean nature of the assassin in a style consistent with the broader visual language of the Time Spiral block.
