Survivor is a rarely used creature class, depicting people remaining alive after an event in which others have died. It first appeared on tokens in Alliances.
History[ | ]
For a long time the type only appeared on tokens related to General Varchild of Kjeldor. First in Alliances, and later in Commander 2018.
The creature type finally appeared on cards in Duskmourn: House of Horror, related to the Survival mechanic.
Storyline[ | ]
During the Ice Age of Dominaria, the traitorous General Varchild of Kjeldor performed countless raids on Balduvia which only left a handful of Survivors.
Trivia[ | ]
- Fourteen creatures have "survivor" in their name, but do not have the creature type.[1] Flavorfully, they are given out to escapees of calamitous events, most notably the Hour of Devastation of Amonkhet.
- In the storyline of Duskmourn, the Survivors are all those who have not been converted or killed by the House yet.
