Where it came from
Key to the City was originally released in the 2016 expansion Kaladesh, representing the technological marvels of a world inspired by artifice and invention. The card was designed to facilitate aggressive strategies, offering both card selection through discarding and a potent unblockable evasion mechanic that reflects the cunning required to navigate a cityscape.
The version from The Brothers' War Retro Artifacts series features a special frame treatment that pays homage to the aesthetic of early Magic: The Gathering sets. This inclusion serves as a narrative bridge between the modern mechanics of the artifact and the deep history of the franchise, rendered in a classic style that appeals to players who value the thematic continuity of the game's long-running lore.
