Where it came from
Borrowed Hostility was originally released in the 2016 Magic: The Gathering set Eldritch Moon. As an instant with the escalate keyword, the card was designed to allow players to pay additional costs to gain multiple effects, reflecting the chaotic and corruptive influence of the Eldrazi titans on the plane of Innistrad. The design intended to offer tactical versatility in combat, rewarding players for spending extra resources to manipulate the flow of battle.
The card’s illustration was crafted by Volkan Baǵa, a veteran artist known for his dynamic and atmospheric work within the fantasy genre. In this piece, Baǵa captures the grotesque, unsettling aesthetic of the set, utilizing high-contrast lighting to highlight the monstrous transformation occurring in the scene. Upon its release, the card was received as a standard functional common, appreciated by drafters for its flexibility and thematic integration into the set's graveyard and sacrifice-focused mechanics.
