Provenance

Where it came from

Laboratory Maniac was originally released in the 2011 set Innistrad, designed as a rare creature that provided an alternative win condition for players who exhausted their decks. This specific version hails from Time Spiral Remastered, a 2021 compilation set curated to celebrate the mechanics and history of the Time Spiral block, which was renowned for its complex interactions and callbacks to earlier Magic: The Gathering lore.

The artwork for this iteration maintains the iconic depiction of a frantic, obsessed scholar surrounded by unstable alchemical apparatus. Created by artist Igor Kieryluk, the illustration captures the essence of a scientist whose pursuit of knowledge has led to his own undoing, a recurring theme in the Gothic horror setting of Innistrad. The card remains a staple in Commander formats, favored by players who enjoy high-risk, high-reward strategies that focus on rapid card drawing.
