Where it came from
The Scarab God was originally introduced in the 2017 Magic: The Gathering expansion Hour of Devastation, designed as a powerful mythic rare creature to represent the darker, reanimated aspects of the Egyptian-inspired plane of Amonkhet. The card was designed by the Wizards of the Coast development team to emphasize the themes of necromancy and resource manipulation, rewarding players for interacting with graveyards. Its aesthetic, featuring a decaying yet regal insectoid deity, was brought to life by artist Johannes Voss, who utilized a vivid color palette to highlight the corruption of the plane's gods.
The Double Masters printing, featuring the collector number 216, was released in 2020 as part of a premium set designed for experienced players. This version utilized the 'borderless' frame treatment, which allowed the artwork to extend to the edges of the card, providing a more immersive view of the illustration. This iteration was highly sought after by collectors and players alike, as it offered a sophisticated, minimalist aesthetic that distinguished it from the original printing while maintaining the card's status as a staple in the Commander format.
