Where it came from
Starke of Rath was originally printed in the 1997 Magic: The Gathering expansion Tempest. Designed by Mike Elliott, the card depicts a central character from the Rath Cycle storyline, a traitorous figure whose narrative arc involves double-crossing the Weatherlight crew. The artwork, illustrated by Greg Staples, captures the character's unsettling and unpredictable nature, fitting the dark, industrial aesthetic of the Rath plane which defined the set's visual identity.
The card was included in 'The List', a rotating curated selection of reprints integrated into Magic: The Gathering booster packs beginning in 2020. This program was designed to reintroduce older, iconic cards to contemporary players, allowing for a mix of historical context and modern playability. While Starke of Rath remains a niche utility card in casual Commander formats, its inclusion in The List serves as a nod to the game's mid-nineties lore and the complex, often treacherous history of its early narrative expansions.
