Where it came from
The Scarab God was released in 2017 as part of the Hour of Devastation expansion for Magic: The Gathering. Set on the plane of Amonkhet, a world inspired by Ancient Egyptian mythology, the card depicts one of the three God-Pharaoh's lieutenants corrupted by the villain Nicol Bolas. The design represents a shift in the game's mechanics towards the 'eternalization' of creatures, reflecting the set's narrative theme of a society obsessed with death and resurrection.
The artwork was illustrated by Aleksi Briclot, a veteran concept artist for Wizards of the Coast. Briclot utilized a vibrant, regal color palette of deep blues and golds to emphasize the deity's status, while incorporating insectoid textures to reflect its namesake. The card was met with significant praise from players for its high power level in competitive formats like Commander, eventually becoming a staple 'mythic rare' that remains highly sought after by collectors for both its gameplay utility and its thematic aesthetic.
