Provenance

Where it came from

Smite the Monstrous was originally released as an instant-speed removal spell in the 2014 set Khans of Tarkir, designed to help players address the set's prominent large-creature themes. The version specific to the Ugin's Fate collection was issued in 2015 as part of a specialized promotional set distributed through local game stores. These cards featured an alternate frame design meant to evoke the flavor of Ugin, the Spirit Dragon, and were awarded to participants who played in Ugin's Fate events.

The artwork for this specific printing was commissioned from Greg Staples, a long-time contributor to the Magic: The Gathering franchise. Staples utilized a dramatic, high-contrast style intended to emphasize the power dynamic between the caster and the targeted creature. Within the community, this printing is noted primarily for its distinct translucent-themed border treatment, which differentiates it from the standard edition while maintaining the mechanical functionality required for competitive limited and casual play.
