Where it came from
Imaginary Threats was released in 2017 as part of the Hour of Devastation expansion for Magic: The Gathering, a set themed around the desert world of Amonkhet and the return of the dragon god Nicol Bolas. The card was designed as a blue enchantment that utilizes the 'goad' mechanic, which forces opponent creatures to attack players other than the controller, reflecting the theme of psychological manipulation and divine deception central to the set's narrative.
The card’s illustration was created by artist Mathias Kollros, who captured a surreal, nightmarish aesthetic fitting the card's name and mechanical effect. The design team focused on creating a high-variance interactive tool for multiplayer formats, where players must weigh the strategic benefit of manipulating board states against the risk of the enchantment being destroyed.
