Where it came from
Diabolic Intent was first printed in the Planeshift expansion in 2001, but this specific iteration was released in 2022 as part of The Brothers' War Retro Artifacts subset. This subset was designed to pay homage to the aesthetic history of Magic: The Gathering, featuring cards framed in the classic 1990s card border to evoke nostalgia for the game's earliest sets, despite the card itself functioning within modern mechanics.
The artwork for this particular version was illustrated by Justine Jones. Jones opted for a dark, evocative style that centers on the themes of sacrifice and ambition inherent to the card's effect. Upon its release in The Brothers' War, the card was widely received by competitive players as a powerful utility piece, valued for its efficiency in searching a library for specific cards at the cost of a creature.
