Lore

Why it matters

As a common from this specific duel deck series, it remains a practical and iconic piece for players looking to control the board by locking down an opponent's key threat.

Provenance

Where it came from

Claustrophobia was originally illustrated by Aleksi Briclot for the Scars of Mirrodin expansion in 2010. The card depicts a thematic struggle against the Phyrexian influence spreading across the plane, capturing a moment of entrapment that mirrors the mechanics of the card, which taps a creature and prevents it from untapping.

This specific printing appeared in the 2017 Duel Decks: Merfolk vs. Goblins release. As part of a pre-constructed product designed to showcase tribal synergies and classic rivalry, the card was included to provide necessary utility and control elements for players navigating the aggressive, creature-heavy environment favored by both Merfolk and Goblin decks.
