Provenance

Where it came from

Inquisition was released in August 1994 as part of The Dark, the fifth expansion set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Developed by Wizards of the Coast, the set was designed to explore a darker, gothic aesthetic, introducing mechanical themes centered on sacrifice and environmental hazards to differentiate the gameplay experience from earlier sets.

The artwork for this specific card was commissioned from artist Quinton Hoover. Known for his distinctive, flowing style and vibrant use of color, Hoover was tasked with capturing the ominous nature of a formal interrogation. The card is a common-rarity black spell that allows a player to look at an opponent's hand, reflecting the game's focus on information warfare and psychological manipulation.
