Where it came from
Dig Through Time was originally introduced in the Khans of Tarkir expansion for Magic: The Gathering in 2014. Designed as a blue instant, it quickly became a cornerstone of competitive play due to its delve mechanic, which allows players to exile cards from their graveyard to reduce its mana cost. The card was crafted to reward graveyard-heavy strategies, providing efficient card selection that proved powerful enough to shape multiple formats, including Legacy and Vintage.
The card features artwork by Lake Hurwitz, who chose a sweeping, cinematic style to depict the act of sifting through the remnants of a shattered timeline. The imagery emphasizes the chaotic, magical nature of the Sultai Brood's manipulation of history. Upon release, it was lauded by the design community for its tactical depth, though its extreme efficiency eventually led to restrictions in several tournament formats as players found ways to exploit its delve cost consistently.
