Where it came from
The Scarab God was originally introduced in the 2017 Magic: The Gathering set Hour of Devastation, representing the corrupted deity of the Amonkhet plane. This version originates from the 2023 Commander Masters set, which curated powerful reprints to provide players with sought-after staples for the Commander format. The card features art by Aleksi Briclot, who aimed to emphasize the character's terrifying, necromantic influence over the dead, depicting the god draped in gold and blue with an unsettling, insectoid aesthetic that leans into the set's Egyptian-inspired mythology.
Upon its debut, the card became a central figure in graveyard-based strategies, gaining significant popularity for its ability to reanimate creatures as copies of themselves. The Commander Masters re-release served to make this iconic legendary creature more accessible to a new generation of players while maintaining the striking, ornate visual identity that cemented its status as a cornerstone of the Grixis color identity.
