Where it came from
Shadows of the Past was released in 2016 as part of the Duel Decks: Nissa vs. Ob Nixilis product. This set was designed to represent the narrative conflict between the Planeswalkers Nissa Revane and Ob Nixilis on the plane of Zendikar. The card is a black enchantment that synergizes with the set's mechanics of creature death and graveyard interaction, reflecting Ob Nixilis's role as a demon who draws power from destruction and corruption.
The card features illustration by Kev Walker, a longtime contributor to the Magic: The Gathering aesthetic. Walker’s work on this piece captures the grim, gothic atmosphere associated with Ob Nixilis’s dark magic, utilizing deep shadows and an ominous color palette to convey the card's function as a engine for long-term resource advantage. The design was received as a functional, flavorful inclusion for black-aligned control decks within the casual play environment for which Duel Decks are intended.
