Where it came from
First Day of Class was released in 2021 as part of the Strixhaven: School of Mages expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The set is themed around a magical university, and this card represents the orientation process for new students, serving as a mechanical anthem effect that provides a temporary power boost and haste to creatures. Its design emphasizes the academic flavor of the set, positioning players as students navigating the challenges of magical curriculum.
The artwork was commissioned from illustrator Paul Scott Canavan, who utilized a vibrant, collegiate aesthetic to capture the bustle of a campus courtyard. His design leans into the high-fantasy academic tropes present throughout the Strixhaven plane. Upon its release, the card saw immediate play in various competitive formats due to its efficiency in strategies centered on creating rapid board presence, cementing its place as a staple of the set's common rarity tier.
