Where it came from
The Sinister Starfish card was released in 2021 as part of the Modern Horizons 2 expansion for Magic: The Gathering. Designed as a direct-to-modern set, Modern Horizons 2 aimed to introduce new cards and reprint classics specifically for the Modern format, allowing Wizards of the Coast to experiment with complex mechanics and thematic niches that might not fit into standard rotation sets.
The card features artwork by illustrator Simon Dominic, who leaned into the surreal and eerie aesthetic characteristic of the set's more eccentric creatures. By focusing on the 'starfish' subtype, the design plays with aquatic themes while integrating them into the game's broader mechanical ecosystem. The card was generally received as a functional, flavor-heavy common, praised by draft enthusiasts for its role in enabling specific board states and contributing to the set's cohesive oceanic visual identity.
