Provenance

Where it came from

Released in 2010 as part of the Wizards of the Coast Duel Decks series, this card was designed to be a centerpiece of the Elspeth vs. Tezzeret boxed set. The series was established to provide balanced, ready-to-play decks that highlighted the thematic conflict between two iconic Planeswalkers, with this specific set focusing on the struggle between the hero Elspeth Tirel and the artificer Tezzeret.

The card features artwork by Christopher Moeller, who was tasked with capturing the intricate aesthetic of the Alara block's Esper shard. Moeller's illustration was intended to emphasize the mechanical and metallic nature of the card's effect, fitting the industrial aesthetic associated with Tezzeret. Upon release, the set was well-received by players for its thematic cohesion and the inclusion of sought-after foil versions of cards that were otherwise difficult to obtain in the original Shards of Alara release.
