Where it came from
Induce Despair was released in 2010 as part of the Rise of the Eldrazi expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The set represented the climax of the Zendikar block, centering on the emergence of the Eldrazi, an ancient, plane-consuming threat. Mechanically, the card was designed to leverage the set's emphasis on high-cost colorless creatures, rewarding players for having larger monsters on the battlefield by turning their sheer size into a weapon of removal.
The artwork was provided by the illustrator James Paquette. In line with the eldritch, cosmic horror aesthetic of the set, the illustration depicts a sense of overwhelming, oppressive hopelessness. It was received as a functional, flavor-rich piece of the set’s mechanical identity, effectively conveying the theme of the Eldrazi exerting their influence over the denizens of the plane of Zendikar.
