Where it came from
Champion of Wits was introduced in the 2017 Magic: The Gathering expansion Hour of Devastation. As a blue creature with the eternalize mechanic, it reflects the set's central narrative involving the god-pharaoh Nicol Bolas and his attempts to create an undying army of elite warriors. The design aimed to provide players with a creature that remained useful in the late game, offering a way to filter through their deck while leaving behind a recurring threat in the graveyard.
The card was illustrated by Even Amundsen, a concept artist known for his distinct, painterly approach to fantasy character design. For this piece, Amundsen captured the ethereal and skeletal nature of the eternalized warriors, emphasizing the transition from mortal life to magical servitude. The promo version, marked as 31s, features alternate artwork that retains the card's thematic focus on intellectual prowess and tactical utility, making it a sought-after piece for players who favor control-oriented deck archetypes.
