Provenance

Where it came from

Chronostutter was released in 2014 as part of the Magic 2015 core set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. It was designed to occupy a specific niche in limited play, functioning as a blue rare card capable of manipulating the board state by returning a permanent to its owner's library, specifically placed second from the top. The card reflects the set's broader thematic focus on the planeswalker Garruk Wildspeaker and the multiversal conflicts of the period.

The artwork for the card was created by Dan Scott, a long-time contributor to the game known for his dynamic character illustrations. Scott’s design for Chronostutter emphasizes the temporal distortion and blue-aligned magic characteristic of the card's effect. Upon its release, the card was viewed as a strategic tool for tempo-based play, though it remained a situational inclusion rather than a staple across the game's various competitive formats.
