Where it came from
Orcus, Prince of Undeath was released in the 2021 Magic: The Gathering expansion set Adventures in the Forgotten Realms. This set marked the first official crossover between the Wizards of the Coast flagship trading card game and the iconic Dungeons & Dragons tabletop role-playing system. The card was designed to translate the legendary Demon Prince from D&D lore into a mechanical card format, specifically capturing his role as a lord of the undead with a versatile ability that allows players to reanimate fallen creatures from the graveyard.
The artwork for this card was commissioned by artist Nils Hamm, whose dark and evocative style is frequently featured across the game. Hamm sought to depict Orcus in his classic appearance—wielding his signature wand of death—amidst a grim, necrotic setting that reflects the character's status as a powerful deity of the Abyss. Upon its release, the card was well-received by players for its thematic accuracy and effectiveness in Commander-style gameplay, serving as a nostalgic bridge for fans of both gaming systems.
