Infernal Contract

Infernal Contract was originally printed as a rare card in the 1996 Magic: The Gathering expansion set, Mirage. As part of the Oversized League Prizes, this specific version was produced as a large-scale promotional display piece. These oversized cards were typically distributed through organized play events or as rewards for high-level tournament participation, intended to serve as commemorative trophies or visual aids in retail spaces, reflecting the game's shift toward more professionalized competitive structures during the mid-nineties.

The card's design features iconic dark fantasy imagery characteristic of the Mirage block, emphasizing the high-risk, high-reward nature of the black mana color identity. The artwork, which depicts a sinister deal between mortal and demonic forces, was designed to evoke a sense of grave sacrifice. Within the collector community, these oversized versions are highly regarded for their scarcity and the unique aesthetic they provide when contrasted with the standard-sized gaming cards of the era.
