Provenance

Where it came from

Breakthrough was released in 2014 as part of the Magic: The Gathering set Conspiracy, a release designed specifically for drafting and multiplayer play. The card originates from the expansion's focus on introducing political intrigue and social mechanics into the traditional gameplay format, reflecting the set's thematic commitment to clandestine influence and shifting alliances among players.

The card’s illustration was crafted by artist Dan Scott, who sought to capture the frantic, high-stakes nature of a sudden strategic revelation. His work on the piece emphasizes the chaotic energy of the draft environment, fitting the card's function as a way to filter cards and accelerate play. It was received as a functional, utility-focused addition to the set, appreciated for its synergy within the fast-paced, interactive context of Conspiracy draft games.
