Lore

Provenance

Where it came from

Slaughter the Strong was originally released as a rare sorcery in the 2018 expansion Rivals of Ixalan, a set that focused on the adventurous, exploration-themed plane of Ixalan. The card was specifically issued as a foil promo to reward players for their participation in local game store events, featuring distinct expansion-symbol stamping and a unique aesthetic presentation that set it apart from standard pack-inserted versions.

The artwork was commissioned from Randy Vargas, a frequent contributor to Magic: The Gathering who often employs dramatic lighting and dynamic compositions. For this piece, Vargas was tasked with depicting the board-clearing power of the spell, which forces players to sacrifice creatures until each player controls creatures with a total power of four or less. The visual design emphasizes the theme of overwhelming forces being humbled, a reflection of the brutal, high-stakes nature of the Ixalan conflict.
