Where it came from
Chain of Smog was released in 2002 as part of the Onslaught expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The set focused heavily on the tribal theme, exploring the concept of warring factions on the plane of Otaria. The card was designed as part of a cycle of uncommon sorceries that allowed players to copy the spell repeatedly, provided they were willing to target themselves or their opponents in a recursive loop.
The artwork was provided by Greg Staples, a prominent illustrator known for his atmospheric and moody contributions to the game. Staples utilized a dark, visceral style to depict the choking, suffocating nature of the smog, perfectly capturing the card's mechanical function of overwhelming the board. While initially considered a niche utility card, it later gained significant notoriety in competitive formats due to its role in high-efficiency infinite combo decks.
