What it does

"They groaned, they stirred, they all uprose,/ Nor spake, nor moved their eyes;/ It had been strange, even in a dream,/ To have seen those dead men rise."/ —Samuel Coleridge, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner"

Provenance

Where it came from

Scathe Zombies was first released as part of the Magic: The Gathering Limited Edition Alpha and Beta sets in 1993, later appearing in the Unlimited Edition released in 1994. As a foundational creature card representing the black mana color identity, it served as a functional baseline for the game's creature combat mechanics, illustrating the recurring theme of undead servants common in fantasy gaming tropes of the era.

The card features artwork by Jesper Myrfors, who served as the original art director for Magic: The Gathering. Myrfors’ design for the piece leaned into a stark, visceral aesthetic that defined the game's early visual language. While the card is a common and was considered a modest addition to early decks, it is now viewed as an iconic piece of the game's history due to its presence in the essential base sets that launched the collectible card game genre.
