Provenance

Where it came from

The Ogre Taskmaster first appeared in the Ninth Edition core set of Magic: The Gathering, released in July 2005. Ninth Edition was a significant milestone for Wizards of the Coast as it marked the transition to a modern card frame for the entire core set, standardizing the visual language of the game for a new generation of players. The card was designed to bolster red's aggressive creature synergies, specifically focusing on the Goblin tribe by providing a static power boost to these smaller creatures.

The artwork for this specific iteration was provided by illustrator Greg Staples. His design leans into the brutish, intimidating aesthetic typical of Ogre creatures within the Magic multiverse, emphasizing the creature's role as a menacing overseer. Within the competitive landscape of the time, the card was regarded as a functional utility piece for Limited formats, particularly in environments where Goblin-themed decks could gain incremental advantages through board presence.
