Where it came from
Scavenging Ghoul was released in 1993 as part of Limited Edition Alpha, the inaugural set of Magic: The Gathering. Created by Richard Garfield and published by Wizards of the Coast, the game was conceived as a portable, strategic card game that could be played quickly between rounds of other tabletop sessions. This specific card represents the game's foundational black mana archetype, which focuses on graveyard interaction and the resource of death.
The art was illustrated by Dan Frazier, one of the original artists commissioned for the set. His work on the Ghoul captures the grim, gothic horror aesthetic that defined the early visual language of the game. While the card is mechanically straightforward, it holds historical significance as a member of the original 295-card set, marking the beginning of the collectible card game genre.
