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 was released in 1993 as part of the Limited Edition Alpha set, the very first printing of Magic: The Gathering. Created by Richard Garfield and published by Wizards of the Coast, the game emerged from a desire to bridge the gap between traditional board games and the collectible nature of baseball cards. The set introduced the foundation for modern trading card games, utilizing a color-coded mana system that remains the standard for the genre today.
The card features artwork by Dameon Willich, who was among the original group of artists commissioned for the project. Willich’s illustration captures the gritty, dark-fantasy aesthetic that defined the game’s early visual identity, focusing on the shambling horror of the undead. While the card is mechanically straightforward, it became an iconic symbol of the Black mana color identity and the set’s broader gothic horror motifs.
