Where it came from
Act of Authority was released in 2013 as part of the Commander 2013 product line, a series of preconstructed decks designed specifically for the Commander multiplayer format. The card was included in the Eternal Bargain deck, which leaned into the white-black color identity, emphasizing resource management and long-term value through repetitive sacrifice and exile effects.
The artwork was illustrated by Steve Argyle, who utilized a stark, high-contrast visual style to convey the card's theme of authoritative intervention. The design aimed to capture the essence of a divine or bureaucratic mandate, functioning as a powerful removal tool that grants players the ability to exile artifacts or enchantments at the cost of giving the opponent control of the permanent thereafter.
