Where it came from
Identity Thief was released in 2016 as part of the Eldritch Moon expansion for Magic: The Gathering. Set on the gothic horror-inspired plane of Innistrad, the card reflects the set’s central theme of cosmic corruption, where Eldrazi entities twisted the local inhabitants into grotesque, unrecognizable forms. Mechanically, the card captures the theme of mimicry and displacement, allowing the creature to temporarily copy the stats and abilities of another creature it attacks.
The artwork was illustrated by Jason Felix, who utilized a stark, surrealist style to emphasize the unsettling nature of the creature’s transformation. By depicting a hooded figure mid-shift, Felix aimed to convey the identity-erasing horror characteristic of the Eldritch Moon narrative arc. Upon its release, the card was noted by players for its tactical utility in limited formats, where its ability to trigger enter-the-battlefield effects made it a potent, albeit situational, tool for disruption.
