What it does
All artifacts have "At the beginning of your upkeep, sacrifice this artifact unless you pay 2 generic mana."
Karn said nothing—he just grasped the powerstone and squeezed tightly. The wild flashing ceased.

Where it came from
Energy Flux was originally released as part of the Mercadian Masques expansion for Magic: The Gathering in 1999. The set was inspired by the plane of Mercadia, a world defined by its mercantile culture and mechanical ingenuity, which influenced the card's theme of taxing artifacts. Designed by the Wizards of the Coast development team, the card serves as a specialized sideboard tool intended to punish strategies that rely heavily on artifact permanents.
The artwork was illustrated by rk post, a prolific contributor to the game's aesthetic during the late 1990s. His depiction emphasizes the chaotic, energetic distortion associated with the card's effect. Within the game's competitive history, Energy Flux has remained a niche but enduring answer in formats where artifacts are prevalent, often cited by players for its direct and uncompromising impact on the board state.
