Provenance

Where it came from

AWOL was released in 2004 as part of the Unhinged expansion, a satirical set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game designed by Wizards of the Coast to explore the humorous and boundary-pushing side of card mechanics. The set followed the precedent of its predecessor, Unglued, and was intended to be played in casual environments where players could enjoy unconventional rules that were not permissible in standard competitive tournament play.

The card was illustrated by Stephen Tappin, who utilized the set’s irreverent spirit to depict a card being literally removed from the game's reality. The design serves as an inside joke regarding the game's mechanics of exile, emphasizing the humorous concept that the card is not just removed from play, but physically lost. Upon its release, it was well-received by fans of the game for its meta-humor and its ability to act as a definitive, tongue-in-cheek answer to persistent permanents.
