Where it came from
Crush of Tentacles was released in 2016 as part of the Oath of the Gatewatch expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The card was designed to highlight the set's central narrative conflict, where the Eldrazi—an ancient, reality-warping threat—descend upon the plane of Zendikar. Mechanically, the card utilizes the surge keyword, a signature feature of the set that encourages players to cast multiple spells in a single turn to trigger more powerful, synergistic effects.
The artwork was illustrated by Chase Stone, who opted for a dynamic, high-impact composition to capture the sheer scale of the creature's assault. The piece is highly regarded by players for its vivid depiction of the Eldrazi's alien biology and the overwhelming force of its presence, successfully grounding the abstract concept of a board-clearing effect in the game's established lore and visual identity.
