Where it came from
The Amonkhet Invocations series was released in 2017 as part of the Amonkhet expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. These cards served as 'Masterpieces,' a subset of premium, visually distinct reprints featuring stylized Egyptian-inspired aesthetics designed to fit the flavor of the Amonkhet plane. The series was created to provide collectors with highly sought-after, rare versions of iconic cards, utilizing a distinct frame design that deviated significantly from standard card layouts of the time.
Artist Igor Kieryluk was commissioned to provide the illustration for this version of Chain Lightning, a card originally dating back to the 1994 Legends set. Kieryluk employed a bold, geometric style that emphasized the magical energy and kinetic flow required by the card's name, while adhering to the monochromatic, sarcophagus-inspired aesthetic of the Invocation set. The reception among the player base was notably mixed, as the unique frame and font choices made the text difficult to read for some, though the artistic execution was frequently praised for its thematic cohesion.
