Where it came from
Swarm of Bloodflies was released in 2018 as part of the Battlebond set for Magic: The Gathering. This set was unique in the game's history, designed specifically around the Two-Headed Giant multiplayer format, which emphasizes cooperative play and team synergy. The card reflects this design focus, functioning as a creature that grows in power as other creatures perish on the battlefield, rewarding players for participating in the combat-heavy nature of the set.
The card’s illustration was created by artist Mathias Kollros, who has contributed to numerous sets within the game. The aesthetic leans into the visceral, horror-adjacent themes associated with the creature type, depicting a chaotic cluster of insectile forms. While the card is a functional piece of gameplay mechanics rather than a rare collector’s print, its inclusion in Battlebond solidified its place in the history of the game's multiplayer-centric expansions.
