Provenance

Where it came from

Watchers of the Dead was released in 2017 as part of the Amonkhet set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. The set draws heavy thematic inspiration from ancient Egyptian mythology, centering on a harsh desert world ruled by the dragon planeswalker Nicol Bolas. As an uncommon creature, the card serves a functional role in gameplay, specifically designed to interact with the graveyard-centric mechanics prevalent throughout the block.

The card was illustrated by Joseph Meehan, an artist known for his atmospheric and often macabre depictions within the fantasy genre. Meehan utilized the aesthetic language of Amonkhet to create a visually striking figure that emphasizes the set's obsession with death and the afterlife. Upon its release, the card was noted by players for its niche utility in formats like Commander, where its ability to exile graveyards acts as a targeted counter-measure against strategies that rely on recursive resource management.
