Where it came from
Direct Current was released in 2018 as part of the Guilds of Ravnica set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. It was designed to represent the volatile, electrically charged magic of the Izzet League, one of the ten guilds that control the plane of Ravnica. As a common sorcery, it was intended to serve as a functional 'burn' spell, allowing players to deal damage to both creatures and players while providing a tactical advantage through its jump-start keyword, which allows the card to be cast a second time from the graveyard by discarding a card.
The card's striking visual style was created by artist Dan Murayama Scott, who aimed to capture the chaotic aesthetic of the Izzet guild through bright, arcing electricity and industrial imagery. The artwork emphasizes the guild's penchant for reckless experimentation and raw, unfiltered energy. Upon its release, the card was received as a solid utility piece for limited formats, praised for its efficiency in thinning out small creatures while maintaining a useful role in the mid-to-late game stages.
