Where it came from
Champion of Wits was originally printed in the 2017 set Hour of Devastation, designed by Wizards of the Coast as a versatile blue creature featuring the eternalize keyword. The card represents a seasoned tactician from the desert plane of Amonkhet, emphasizing strategic discard and card advantage. Its inclusion in the Forgotten Realms Commander set marked its reintroduction to the Commander format, providing a reprint that maintained the original's mechanical utility while updating its presentation.
The artwork for this version was provided by Norwegian fantasy illustrator Even Amundsen. Known for his evocative character work and masterful use of lighting, Amundsen captures the character mid-action, focusing on the tactical posture of a warrior scholar. The design aimed to balance the aesthetic of the Forgotten Realms theme with the established visual language of the card's original identity, and it was generally well-received for its clean, cinematic depiction of the creature.
