Where it came from
Slate of Ancestry was originally released in the 2002 set Onslaught as a rare artifact. It was designed to support tribal-themed deck construction by allowing players to discard their hand and draw a card for each creature they control that shares a creature type with a chosen type. Its mechanical design serves as a powerful late-game engine for swarm-based strategies, rewarding players for maintaining board presence.
The version included in the 2014 Duel Decks Anthology: Elves vs. Goblins release serves as a functional reprint, maintaining the original artwork by Greg Staples. This release was intended to provide players with a retrospective of the popular Duel Decks series, which paired thematic, pre-constructed decks against one another. By including the card in the Elves deck, the designers sought to capitalize on the card's natural synergy with the deck's rapid creature-token production.
