Provenance

Where it came from

Baral's Expertise was originally released in the 2017 Aether Revolt set, representing the character Baral, Chief of Compliance, a central antagonist in the Kaladesh storyline. The card was designed as part of the 'Expertise' cycle, which allows players to cast a lower-mana spell for free while executing a powerful board-state effect. This iteration from the Outlaws of Thunder Junction Commander set serves as a mechanical reprint, maintaining its utility as a high-impact sorcery that resets the board and facilitates free spell casting.

The artwork for this specific printing was created by Todd Lockwood, a veteran fantasy illustrator known for his extensive work on Dungeons & Dragons and Magic: The Gathering. Lockwood’s design emphasizes the cold, calculated authority of the character, utilizing sharp lighting and a stoic composition to reflect Baral's role as a suppressive force within the Kaladesh narrative. The reprint in the Outlaws of Thunder Junction Commander set aims to keep the card accessible for modern formats while recontextualizing the character's legacy within the game's expansive multiverse.
