Where it came from
Assault // Battery was released in the 2000 Magic: The Gathering set Invasion. This set is historically significant for introducing the split card mechanic, which featured two distinct spells printed on a single card, allowing players to choose which half to cast. The card was designed to capitalize on the multi-colored theme of the Invasion block, reflecting the aggressive, red-aligned flavor of the Keldon forces depicted within the set's narrative.
The card's artwork was created by Ben Thompson, a prolific illustrator for the game during this era. Thompson focused on portraying the visceral intensity of the spell, using his signature style to visualize the shift from the chaotic impact of 'Assault' to the sustained physical presence of the 'Battery' token creature. Upon its release, it was well-received by players for its tactical flexibility, becoming a staple utility card that showcased the innovative design space opened by the split card format.
