Where it came from
Returned Phalanx was released in 2013 as part of the Theros set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Developed by Wizards of the Coast, the set draws heavy inspiration from Greek mythology, featuring a world where gods interact directly with mortal populations. Within this lore, the Returned are undead denizens of the Underworld who have escaped back to the realm of the living, characterized by their gold masks and lack of identity.
The card features artwork by Seb McKinnon, an illustrator known for his atmospheric and haunting visual style. McKinnon’s design emphasizes the tragic, spectral nature of the Returned, utilizing a muted color palette and ethereal light to depict a soldier caught in a state of eternal, hollow vigilance. The card was designed as a common creature to provide tactical depth to the Theros draft environment, acting as a sturdy defensive wall that requires specific conditions to attack.
