Where it came from
Slave of Bolas was first introduced in the Alara block and later featured in the 2017 Archenemy: Nicol Bolas set as card number 86. The card is a sorcery that embodies the destructive, manipulative nature of the dragon planeswalker Nicol Bolas, allowing a player to seize control of a creature, grant it haste, and sacrifice it at the end of the turn.
The artwork for this iteration was rendered by Daarken, a frequent contributor to Magic: The Gathering who often leans into dark fantasy aesthetics. The design captures the essence of Bolas's influence, reflecting the mechanical theme of 'Grixis'—the shard of the multiverse defined by cruelty and ambition—where power is often borrowed at a lethal cost to the user's resources.
