Agonizing Remorse // Agonizing Remorse

Agonizing Remorse was originally introduced in the Theros Beyond Death expansion as a black discard spell, reflecting the set's thematic focus on the Greek-inspired underworld and the psychological torment of the dead. When the Strixhaven Art Series was released, it featured this card as part of a subset of cards that celebrated the visual identity of Magic: The Gathering, specifically highlighting the card's stark, evocative illustration.

The artwork for this card was created by artist Titus Lunter, who sought to capture the visceral experience of grief and memory. By focusing on the interplay of shadow and the ethereal nature of the subject matter, Lunter aimed to convey a sense of profound loss. Upon its release, the art was widely praised by the community for its cinematic quality, and its inclusion in the Art Series allowed collectors to appreciate the high-resolution detail of the composition without the interference of game text.
