Where it came from
Ulcerate was released in the Magic 2015 core set, a collection notable for being the first to feature a design influenced by the community through the 'You Make the Card' initiative. As a black instant spell, the card was engineered to provide efficient creature removal at the cost of the player's own life, fitting within the color's established mechanical philosophy of trading resources for power.
The card’s striking illustration was created by Peter Mohrbacher. Known for his surreal and highly recognizable style, Mohrbacher sought to capture the visceral, necrotic essence of the spell’s effect. The art was widely praised by the player community for its unsettling atmosphere, helping the card become a staple for limited formats and a distinct example of the high-quality, evocative world-building present in the set.
