Where it came from
Begin the Invasion was released in 2023 as part of the March of the Machine Commander set, a supplemental collection designed to expand upon the climactic events of Magic: The Gathering's multi-year Phyrexian arc. The card serves as a mechanical and narrative representation of the overwhelming scale of the Phyrexians' multidimensional assault, utilizing the game's mechanics to translate the flavor of a total planetary takeover into a high-impact sorcery.
The artwork was commissioned from Campbell White, who leaned into the biomechanical horror aesthetic characteristic of the Phyrexian faction. By focusing on the relentless, unified nature of the invaders, White aimed to capture the tension of an inevitability that defines the set's central conflict. Upon release, the card was noted for its utility in commander-format decks that rely on creature-heavy strategies and aggressive board states.
