Where it came from
Champion of Wits was released in 2017 as part of the Hour of Devastation expansion for Magic: The Gathering. Set on the plane of Amonkhet, the card depicts a trials-based society obsessed with physical and mental perfection. The design reflects the set's central 'eternalize' mechanic, allowing players to pay a cost to return the creature from the graveyard to the battlefield as a token copy, emphasizing the themes of cycle, death, and persistence prevalent in the set's narrative arc.
The card was illustrated by Victor Adame Minguez, who sought to capture the character's intellectual and swift nature through a dynamic, flowing pose characteristic of the blue-aligned mages in this setting. Upon its release, the card was widely received as a highly efficient tool for decks relying on graveyard synergy and card advantage, becoming a staple in various competitive formats throughout its time in Standard play.
