What it does
"They groaned, they stirred, they all uprose, Nor spake, nor moved their eyes; It had been strange, even in a dream, To have seen those dead men rise."— Samuel Coleridge, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner"

Where it came from
Scathe Zombies, a quintessential common card in Magic: The Gathering, first appeared in the game's Alpha set in 1993 before being included as part of the Rivals Quick Start Set. This set was designed by Wizards of the Coast as an entry-level product, intended to introduce new players to the mechanics of the trading card game by providing fixed, balanced decks that demonstrated fundamental gameplay concepts.
The art for the card was created by Jesper Myrfors, who served as the original art director for Magic: The Gathering. Myrfors sought to define the game's early visual identity through a dark, high-fantasy aesthetic, and his depiction of the Scathe Zombies helped solidify the creature type as a staple of the black mana color identity. While basic in function, the card is remembered by long-time collectors for its representation of the game's early, gritty illustrative era.
