Where it came from
Forbid is a high-utility counterspell originally introduced in the 1998 Magic: The Gathering set Exodus, designed to reward players for managing their hand size. The Amonkhet Invocations version, released in 2017, reimagined the card as a Masterpiece Series collectible, featuring a distinct, ornate frame inspired by the Egyptian-themed aesthetics of the Amonkhet block. This premium treatment was intended to honor iconic cards from the game's history while providing collectors with visually striking, rare versions for their decks.
The artwork for this particular iteration was created by Richard Wright, who utilized the unique, elongated vertical layout of the Invocations frame to convey a sense of ancient, heavy mysticism. Wright focused on the theme of denial and containment, employing a color palette of deep blues and gold highlights that mirror the oppressive divinity found within the Amonkhet narrative. Upon release, the set's aesthetic design, characterized by hieroglyphic-inspired borders and unusual typography, received a polarized but significant response from the community, remaining a hallmark of collectible Magic art.
