Provenance

Where it came from

Released in 2016 as part of the Shadows over Innistrad set, this instant spell reflects the gothic horror theme of a plane descending into madness. The set was designed to evoke a sense of investigation and creeping dread, focusing on the corruption of the setting's iconic inhabitants by the influence of the Eldrazi titan Emrakul.

The card features artwork by the veteran fantasy illustrator Kev Walker. Known for his distinct, gritty style that frequently emphasizes monstrous anatomy and high-contrast lighting, Walker captures the essence of a survivor witnessing the encroaching unknown. Within the game's mechanics, the card provides a simple but effective pump effect, mirroring the desperate scramble for power or understanding in the face of an existential threat.
