Where it came from
First Pick was released in 2017 as part of the Unstable set for Magic: The Gathering. As a silver-bordered card, it was designed specifically for draft environments within the set, functioning as an unconventional utility card that allows a player to physically take a card from the draft pool and add it to their deck. It represents the set's focus on breaking traditional rules and emphasizing the social, interactive chaos of draft nights.
The card was illustrated by artist Matt Cavotta, who has a long history of contributing iconic, whimsical, and thematic imagery to the game. His illustration for First Pick captures a frantic, treasure-seeking aesthetic that mirrors the card's mechanical intent of snatching resources mid-draft. Upon its release, it was well-received by players who enjoyed the humor and unpredictable gameplay mechanics that define the Un-sets.
