Provenance

Where it came from

Shacklegeist was released in July 2020 as part of the Core Set 2021 for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. It was designed as an uncommon spirit creature intended to support tribal synergy within the set's blue color identity, specifically rewarding players for focusing on the spirit creature type through its ability to tap down opponents' creatures.

The card features artwork by the illustrator Volkan Baga. Baga, known for his long-standing work with Wizards of the Coast, utilized a cool-toned, ethereal aesthetic to capture the ghostly essence of the creature, fitting the set's thematic exploration of ghosts and spirits. It was generally well-received by limited-format players for its versatility and defensive utility on the battlefield.
