Provenance

Where it came from

Impractical Joke was released in 2021 as part of the Magic: The Gathering expansion Secrets of Strixhaven, which focused on the five colleges of the Strixhaven University of Magic. The card belongs to the Prismari college, an institution known for blending elemental magic with expressive, theatrical art, which explains the card's playful and chaotic mechanical effect.

The card was illustrated by Caroline Gariba, an artist known for her vibrant and dynamic style. Her work on this piece captures the essence of Prismari philosophy, emphasizing dramatic flair and unpredictable results through the depiction of a magical prank. The design aims to mirror the flavor of high-energy performance art, a central theme for the college within the game's lore.
