Where it came from
Returned Phalanx was originally printed in the Theros set in 2013, drawing on the block's pervasive Greek mythology motifs. It depicts an undead soldier, consistent with the set's focus on the 'Returned'—denizens of the Underworld who have escaped back to the mortal realm at the cost of their memories and faces, often represented by the iconic gold masks. The creature's design reflects the set's mechanical interest in defensive, high-toughness units that mirror the disciplined tactical formations of ancient hoplite warfare.
This specific version appeared in the 2018 Masters 25 set, which was curated to celebrate the twenty-five-year history of Magic: The Gathering by featuring cards from every major expansion released up to that point. The artwork for this printing was contributed by Seb McKinnon, an artist renowned for his surreal, ethereal aesthetic. McKinnon’s take on the Phalanx emphasizes a haunting, atmospheric quality that deviates from the more traditional, rigid depictions of the undead, framing the soldier as a lingering, mournful phantom of the battlefield.
