Where it came from
Implement of Malice was released in early 2017 as part of the Aether Revolt expansion for Magic: The Gathering. Set on the plane of Kaladesh, the card reflects the central tension of the story: an oppressive government, the Consulate, attempting to seize control of magical energy from the ingenious inventors of the world. As a low-cost artifact, it represents the utilitarian yet volatile technology fueling the resistance, designed to be sacrificed to activate its secondary effect, mirroring the desperate measures taken by the local rebels.
The artwork, illustrated by Igor Kieryluk, leans into the Art Deco-inspired aesthetic that defines the Kaladesh setting, featuring elegant but utilitarian metallic lines and a distinct, glowing purple energy core. It was designed as a common-rarity utility piece for limited formats, functioning as a way for players to trigger 'revolt' mechanics or force discards. Upon release, it was well-received by players looking for efficient, flexible artifacts that could provide incremental value in synergy-heavy deck archetypes.
