Provenance

Where it came from

Disdainful Stroke was printed as part of the Streets of New Capenna set released in 2022. The set explores a plane heavily influenced by the art deco aesthetic and the organized crime syndicates of 1920s America, reimagining the traditional fantasy tropes of Magic: The Gathering through the lens of a noir-inspired urban metropolis. This specific iteration of the card serves as a thematic functional reprint, providing a reliable counter-spell meant to manage the high-mana-value threats common in the set's complex gameplay environment.

The card features artwork by Irina Nordsol, who rendered a scene fitting the set's opulent and gritty atmosphere. Her illustration captures the essence of a high-society confrontation, utilizing sharp lines and a refined color palette to reflect the vanity and power struggles of the city's ruling families. The design was well-received for maintaining the mechanical identity of the card while successfully weaving it into the visual narrative of a corrupt, art-deco-infused landscape.
