Provenance

Where it came from

Gunk Slug is part of a series of playtest cards included in the 2021 Mystery Booster: Convention Edition. These cards were designed by the Wizards of the Coast research and development team to explore experimental mechanics and unconventional design spaces that were not yet ready for standard sets. The cards are intentionally presented with a raw, unfinished aesthetic to emphasize their purpose as iterative prototypes in the game's evolution.

The design of Gunk Slug features a rudimentary card frame and placeholder art style, which serves as a hallmark of the playtest series. By stripping away the polished visual identity of typical Magic: The Gathering cards, the designers aimed to focus player feedback on the mechanical function and balance of the 'Gunk' concept. These cards were distributed exclusively at convention events, making them unique curiosities for collectors interested in the developmental history of the game.
