Where it came from
I Call on the Ancient Magics was released in 2010 as part of the initial Archenemy set, a unique multiplayer supplement for Magic: The Gathering designed to introduce a boss-fight style format. The set featured large-format 'scheme' cards that represent the overarching power and treachery of a singular villain playing against a team of three other players, reflecting the dramatic tension of a high-stakes fantasy battle.
The card was illustrated by Dave Kendall, whose dark, atmospheric aesthetic captures the essence of summoning forbidden forces. The design centers on the mechanic of revealing the top five cards of a player's library to put a non-land permanent into play, a powerful effect intended to capture the feeling of an archenemy suddenly deploying an overwhelming threat to turn the tide of the game.
