Provenance

Where it came from

Walking Sarcophagus was released as part of the Aetherdrift expansion, a set centered on high-speed magical racing and the aesthetic of planar travel. Within the lore of the set, the card represents the remnants of ancient funerary rites repurposed through Aether-infused technology to serve as a mechanical automaton, embodying the juxtaposition of antiquity and industrial kineticism.

The card’s illustration was crafted by artist Julia Metzger, who focused on rendering the stone-like textures of the sarcophagus contrasted with the vibrant, glowing energy of the Aetherdrift setting. As a common card, it was designed to serve as a functional, reliable piece of the set’s limited environment, providing players with a durable creature that anchors the game’s themes of resilience and mechanical endurance.
