Where it came from
Exert Influence is a rare sorcery card released in the 2015 Magic: The Gathering expansion set, Battle for Zendikar. The set marked a return to the plane of Zendikar, a world defined by its volatile landscapes and the ongoing conflict against the Eldrazi, gargantuan interdimensional entities threatening to consume the multiverse. This card was designed to mechanically represent the 'Awaken' keyword, a central mechanic of the set that allowed players to animate their lands into creatures, reflecting the land's own desperate resistance against the corruption of the Eldrazi.
The artwork for Exert Influence was created by illustrator Magali Villeneuve. Tasked with visualizing the desperate struggle of the inhabitants of Zendikar, Villeneuve rendered a scene of intense magical conflict, focusing on the dynamic movement and high-fantasy aesthetic that characterizes the aesthetic of the block. Upon its release, the card was received primarily as a flavorful tool for limited formats, noted for its ability to shift the board state by converting resources into active combatants, firmly grounding it in the set's broader theme of environmental warfare.
