Where it came from
Diabolic Intent was originally printed in the Planeshift expansion in 2001, designed as a black sorcery that requires the sacrifice of a creature to tutor for any card. It serves as a classic utility spell in Magic: The Gathering, reflecting the 'black' philosophy of exchanging life or resources for power. The card has long been a staple in Commander formats due to its efficient, low-cost search ability, which often justifies the inherent disadvantage of sacrificing a board presence.
The Brothers' War Promos version, featuring collector number 89s, showcases new artwork by Dan Murayama Scott. Released as part of the promotional support for the 2022 expansion, this printing utilizes the 'Retro Frame' aesthetic that mirrors the original card layouts from the late 1990s and early 2000s. Scott’s illustration leans into the dark, visceral tone of the effect, depicting a grim, shadowed figure pulling power from an offering, a stylistic choice intended to resonate with long-term players who appreciate the game's classic visual history.
