Where it came from
Cunning was released in 1998 as part of the Exodus expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Developed by Wizards of the Coast, this set was designed to conclude the Rath Cycle, a narrative arc focused on the Phyrexians' infiltration of the plane of Rath. The expansion is historically noted for introducing mechanics that pushed the boundaries of the game's complexity and power level at the time, reflecting the studio's move toward more interactive and strategic gameplay.
The card features artwork by Christopher Rush, one of the most iconic illustrators in the game's early history. Rush utilized a distinct style that emphasized fantasy realism, often characterized by sharp lines and a bold use of color. Cunning was intended to represent the tactical advantage of deceit within the game's color pie, specifically within blue mana, and was received by players as a specialized tool for sideboard strategies in tournament play.
