Where it came from
Altered Ego was released in 2016 as part of the Shadows over Innistrad set for Magic: The Gathering. The card was designed to reflect the set's central themes of psychological horror and transformation, specifically embodying the Eldrazi corruption spreading across the plane of Innistrad. Mechanically, it functions as a clone effect with an additional mana sink, allowing players to create a copy of a creature while adding +1/+1 counters to it, representing the unstable and mutating nature of the creatures it mimics.
The artwork for the card was illustrated by Daarken, a prolific fantasy artist known for his dark and visceral style. In this piece, he depicts a shapeshifting entity in the middle of a gruesome transformation, capturing the unsettling atmosphere of a world turning against its inhabitants. Upon its release, the card was received favorably by the Magic community for its tactical versatility in Commander and casual play formats, where it serves as a flexible tool for mirroring powerful threats on the battlefield.
