Provenance

Where it came from

Vhal, Candlekeep Researcher was released in 2022 as part of the Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate expansion. This set was designed to bridge the gap between the Dungeons & Dragons tabletop roleplaying experience and the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, specifically focusing on iconic characters and locations within the titular library of Candlekeep.

The card was illustrated by Mark A. Nelson, a long-time contributor to the fantasy art community whose work often evokes a traditional, atmospheric aesthetic. In designing Vhal, the goal was to represent a scholarly figure capable of tapping into deep reserves of mana, utilizing a mechanic that allows players to use the creature's activated abilities by tapping her to generate colorless mana, reflecting the theme of academic focus and resourcefulness.
