Provenance

Where it came from

Flunk was released in 2021 as part of the Strixhaven: School of Mages set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Set within the multiversal academy of Strixhaven, the card was designed to reflect the scholarly and occasionally punitive environment of the institution, specifically focusing on the black-aligned college of Witherbloom and its penchant for academic discipline.

The artwork was created by illustrator Randy Vargas, who utilized a dark, moody aesthetic to capture the essence of a student facing a failing grade. The design emphasizes the card's function as a debuff spell, visually representing the literal weight of academic failure as a magical force, which resonated with players as a thematic and mechanically efficient removal option in the Limited format.
