Where it came from
Identity Thief was released in 2022 as part of the Streets of New Capenna Commander set, a collection themed around a sprawling, art-deco-inspired metropolis controlled by rival crime families. The card reflects the set's narrative focus on the city's corrupt underworld, where agents and infiltrators use deception to navigate high-stakes power struggles. Designed for the Commander format, it introduces a versatile combat mechanic that allows the player to copy the strongest creature on the battlefield, embodying the 'shapeshifter' archetype prevalent in urban fantasy settings.
The artwork, illustrated by Igor Kieryluk, leans into the noir-infused aesthetic of the set, featuring a figure veiled in shadow and gold-trimmed attire that mimics the opulent, 1920s-inspired architecture of New Capenna. The design aims to balance technical utility with flavor, capturing the fluid, unpredictable nature of a spy working within a city of secrets. Upon its introduction, players recognized it as a strategically disruptive tool, particularly favored in decks built around clones and aggressive board control.
