Where it came from
Xantcha, Sleeper Agent was originally designed as a legendary creature for the Magic: The Gathering set Battlebond, released in 2018. The character is a central figure in the game's lore, created by the Phyrexians as a sleeper agent intended to infiltrate and monitor the planeswalker Urza. Her narrative arc, which involves gaining sentience and defying her creators to become an ally to Urza, is widely regarded as one of the more compelling stories in the game's history.
This specific iteration of the card appeared in the 2022 Secret Lair Countdown Kit, a limited-edition product consisting of thirty cards released in the lead-up to the 30th anniversary of the franchise. The design features new, stylized artwork consistent with the Secret Lair series' focus on visual experimentation and artistic expression, distinguishing it from the character's original printing.
