Lore

Why it matters

Epic Experiment is a defining card for spellslinger decks, allowing players to exile the top cards of their library and cast any instants or sorceries with a mana value less than or equal to the amount spent to cast it. As a mythic rare from Commander 2015, it remains a favorite for its high-variance, explosive potential to generate massive card advantage in a single turn.

Provenance

Where it came from

Epic Experiment was originally introduced in the Return to Ravnica expansion in 2012, designed as a showcase card for the Izzet League's core philosophy of chaotic, high-stakes magical research. The card allows a player to exile the top cards of their library and cast any number of instant or sorcery cards with a converted mana cost less than or equal to the amount spent, reflecting the exhilarating and volatile nature of Izzet spellcraft.

The version included in the Commander 2015 preconstructed deck, illustrated by Dan Murayama Scott, maintains the original mechanical identity while fitting the frame style of the popular multiplayer format. Scott’s artwork captures the frantic energy of an experimental surge, a hallmark aesthetic for the Izzet guild that emphasizes the beauty found in unpredictable scientific breakthroughs, which resonated well with players who enjoy explosive, combo-heavy playstyles.
