Where it came from
Rune-Tail, Kitsune Ascendant was originally released in the 2005 Saviors of Kamigawa expansion for Magic: The Gathering. Designed as a legendary creature card, it centers on the Japanese-inspired lore of the Kamigawa plane, specifically the kitsune, a race of fox-folk. The card features a unique flip mechanic where the creature transforms into an enchantment once a specific condition is met, reflecting the character's spiritual ascension in the set's narrative.
The artwork was created by illustrator Matt Cavotta, who aimed to capture the ethereal and protective nature of the character through a blend of traditional spiritual iconography and high fantasy aesthetics. As a card appearing on The List—a curated selection of reprints inserted into modern-era booster packs—this version serves to maintain the card's availability for collectors and players while celebrating the historical significance of the Saviors of Kamigawa set.
