Provenance

Where it came from

Eager Construct was released in 2016 as part of the Kaladesh expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The set introduced an optimistic, high-fantasy aesthetic inspired by Indian culture and the industrial revolution, focusing on the theme of inventors and magical craftsmanship. This specific card was designed to reflect the set's central mechanic of artifact synergy, representing the bustling, creative energy of the plane of Kaladesh.

The artwork, illustrated by Victor Adame Minguez, depicts a small, clockwork automaton. Minguez aimed to capture the essence of a helpful, inquisitive mechanical companion consistent with the set's emphasis on artifice and lighthearted ingenuity. The card was received as a functional common-rarity utility creature, valued primarily by players building draft decks focused on artifact interactions.
