Where it came from
Eidolon of Obstruction was released in early 2020 as part of the promotional set for the Magic: The Gathering expansion Theros Beyond Death. This card features a unique promo-exclusive border and art, designed to highlight the set's Greek mythology-inspired aesthetic, which focuses on the interplay between mortals, gods, and the underworld. Mechanically, the card serves as a taxation effect intended for white-aligned decks, specifically punishing opponents for activating planeswalker abilities.
The artwork was illustrated by Ryan Yee, who employed a dramatic, ethereal style to capture the ghostly nature of the Eidolon. In the context of the Theros lore, these entities are spirits tasked with guarding the boundaries of the underworld, and the visual design emphasizes this spectral, barrier-like quality. Upon its release, the card saw modest play in constructed formats, where it was appreciated for its utility in slowing down strategies that rely heavily on resource-generating or game-altering planeswalker abilities.
