Where it came from
Tail Slash was released in 2015 as part of the Dragons of Tarkir set, the third installment in the Khans of Tarkir block for Magic: The Gathering. The card was designed to reflect the brutal, draconic-dominated timeline of the set's narrative, where the dragonlord Silumgar reigns supreme. Mechanically, it functions as a removal spell that utilizes a creature's power to strike an opponent's creature, embodying the flavor of a dragon's devastating tail sweep.
The card features artwork by artist Johannes Voss, who rendered the piece with a focus on the sweeping, kinetic energy of the dragon's attack. Voss was tasked with depicting the overwhelming physical power of the Tarkir dragons, and the illustration was received well by players for its dynamic composition and its clear visual communication of the card's function within the game's combat-heavy environment.
