Provenance

Where it came from

Profaner of the Dead was originally released in 2015 as part of the Dragons of Tarkir expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The card was designed to embody the themes of the Sultai Brood, a faction defined by their utilization of necromancy and death-based mechanics, specifically featuring the 'exploit' keyword that rewards players for sacrificing their own creatures to gain a tactical advantage.

The card’s striking visual identity was crafted by artist Vincent Proce, who sought to capture the grotesque and ethereal nature of a zombie rising from the shadows to manipulate the battlefield. Upon its release, the card was received as a nuanced utility creature in Limited formats, praised for its ability to clear an opponent’s board of smaller threats, though it saw more niche application in competitive Constructed formats.
