Where it came from
Deploy the Gatewatch was released in the 2016 Magic: The Gathering expansion set Eldritch Moon. The card serves as a narrative anchor for the set, depicting the formation of the heroic planeswalker coalition known as the Gatewatch as they gather to combat the encroaching eldritch horror of Emrakul on the plane of Innistrad. The design intent was to provide a powerful, high-mana sorcery that rewards players for building decks focused on planeswalker cards, capturing the thematic scale of the Gatewatch uniting for battle.
The card features illustration by Tyler Jacobson, who was tasked with visualizing the iconic moment of the planeswalkers arriving in unison. Jacobson opted for a cinematic perspective that emphasizes the grand scale of the conflict and the individual personalities of the heroes. Upon release, the card received significant attention from deck builders for its unique ability to cheat expensive planeswalkers into play, though its performance in competitive play remained niche due to the inherent variance of its effect.
