Where it came from
Champion of Wits was introduced in the 2017 Magic: The Gathering expansion set Hour of Devastation. The set serves as the conclusion to the Amonkhet block, depicting a world where the god-pharaoh Nicol Bolas returns to reclaim his realm. Mechanically, the card was designed to capitalize on the eternalize keyword, which allows players to exile the card from their graveyard to create a token copy of it, emphasizing the theme of life after death in the set's narrative.
The card features artwork by illustrator Even Amundsen, who utilized a distinct, painterly style to portray the champion as a being of fluid, mystical form. The design was received positively by the competitive community for its utility, as its ability to filter through a player's deck while maintaining graveyard synergy made it a staple in various control and midrange strategies during its time in the Standard format.
