Provenance

Where it came from

The Implement of Examination was released in 2017 as part of the Aether Revolt set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Within the set's narrative, the Implement serves as an artifact developed by the artificers of Ghirapur, designed to assist in the precise measurement and study of magical energies during the technological uprising on the plane of Kaladesh.

The card was illustrated by Daarken, a frequent contributor to the game known for his atmospheric fantasy style. The design aimed to represent the aesthetic of Kaladesh, characterized by clockwork mechanics and refined artifice. Upon its release, it was primarily utilized in limited formats as a utility piece, valued for its ability to provide card advantage while triggering secondary effects related to artifacts leaving the battlefield.
