Where it came from
Gitaxian Probe was originally released in the 2011 New Phyrexia set, designed as a blue sorcery that allowed players to look at an opponent's hand for the cost of two life. The card quickly became a staple in multiple formats due to its ability to provide perfect information and cycle through a deck for no mana, leading to its eventual restriction or banning in several competitive environments.
The Friday Night Magic promo version, released in 2012, features unique artwork by Trevor Claxton. Claxton, a recurring contributor to Magic: The Gathering, utilized a stark, visceral style to capture the biomechanical horror of the Phyrexians. This iteration remains a sought-after piece for players who appreciate the card's competitive legacy paired with the distinct visual aesthetic of the New Phyrexia narrative arc.
