Provenance

Where it came from

Nine-Lives Familiar was released as part of the Magic: The Gathering Foundations set in 2024. This set was specifically designed to serve as a long-term entry point for new players, featuring a curated selection of cards that capture the core essence of the game's mechanics while remaining accessible to those just beginning their journey in the Multiverse.

The card features artwork by Xabi Gaztelua, whose illustration captures the ethereal, recurring nature of the creature. As a rare black creature, the design focuses on the familiar trope of a cat with seemingly endless vitality, mechanically translating the 'nine lives' concept into a resilient game piece that returns to the battlefield throughout a match.
