Where it came from
Chart a Course was introduced in the 2017 Magic: The Gathering set Ixalan. The card was designed as a blue sorcery that rewards players for aggressive playstyles by allowing them to draw two cards if they attacked with a creature earlier in the turn, or discard a card if they did not. This mechanic was intended to provide blue decks, which are traditionally defensive, with a more proactive tool that fit the pirate-themed exploration narrative of the Ixalan plane.
The artwork for the card was illustrated by Johannes Voss. Voss focused on capturing the adventurous, nautical atmosphere of the set, depicting a figure consulting a map against the backdrop of the vibrant, overgrown jungles and coastal waters emblematic of the Ixalan world. The card was well-received by players for its efficiency, finding a permanent home in various competitive formats where card advantage is prioritized.
