Where it came from
Skyclave Squid was released in the 2020 Magic: The Gathering set Zendikar Rising, a return to the adventure-themed plane of Zendikar. The set focused on themes of exploration and ancient ruins, with the Skyclaves representing floating architectural remnants from the world's distant past. This card was designed to support the set's mechanical emphasis on land-based strategies, specifically utilizing the landfall keyword to provide a resilient, scaling threat during gameplay.
The creature was illustrated by artist Dmitry Burmak, who focused on depicting the squid as a bioluminescent entity adapted to the floating ruins. The design sought to balance the aesthetic of an otherworldly aquatic beast with the dangerous, gravity-defying environment of the Skyclaves. Upon release, it became a noted utility creature for limited formats, praised by players for its ability to grow in strength as the game progressed while fitting seamlessly into the set's established visual identity.
