Provenance

Where it came from

Instill Infection was originally printed as a common card in the 2015 set Modern Masters 2015. It was designed as part of the set's mechanics, which focused on a proliferate-themed environment, allowing players to add counters to creatures, planeswalkers, or poison counters on opponents. The card serves as a versatile utility piece, enabling card draw alongside a small debuff to an opponent's creature.

The art for the card was commissioned from illustrator Lucas Graciano, who provided a moody, atmospheric depiction of the infection process. As part of The List, which is a curated selection of cards that appear in Set Boosters to provide players with reprints from Magic: The Gathering's history, this specific version maintains the aesthetic identity established during the Modern Masters release, reflecting the game's shift toward high-utility, multipurpose spell design.
