Where it came from
Breakthrough was released in February 2002 as part of the Torment expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Developed by Wizards of the Coast, Torment was the second set in the Odyssey block and was famously designed with a heavy mechanical emphasis on the color black, intentionally skewing the set's color distribution to create a unique drafting and gameplay environment.
The card features artwork by the illustrator Arnie Swekel, who contributed numerous pieces to the game during this era. Swekel’s illustration captures the frantic and intellectual nature of the card's effect—which allows a player to draw four cards and then discard two—fitting the theme of desperate magical research common in the blue-aligned spells of the Odyssey block.
