Provenance

Where it came from

War-Trained Slasher was released in 2023 as part of the Magic: The Gathering expansion set March of the Machine. The set serves as the climax to a multi-year story arc involving an interplanar invasion by the Phyrexians, a biomechanical force that seeks to assimilate all living things. This specific card represents the desperate defensive efforts of the plane of Ixalan, showcasing how local fauna were repurposed for combat against the invading mechanical legions.

The artwork was provided by Francis Tneh, a digital illustrator known for his dynamic depictions of creatures within the fantasy genre. Tneh focused on emphasizing the harsh, utilitarian nature of the armor and training apparatuses fitted onto the creature, visually communicating the flavor of the set where disparate worlds are forced to militarize. As a common rarity card, it was designed primarily to provide mechanical consistency and thematic flavor for players participating in the Limited format of the set.
