Where it came from
Released in 2017 as part of the Archenemy: Nicol Bolas set, this scheme card was designed to support a specialized multiplayer format where one player acts as the villain. In this game, players utilize scheme cards to shift the tide of battle, reflecting the manipulative and overwhelming power of the dragon planeswalker Nicol Bolas. Mechanically, the card allows the archenemy to seize control of a creature, embodying the oppressive nature of the character within the narrative context of the Amonkhet storyline.
The visual design of the card features illustration by Svetlin Velinov, who has contributed extensively to the visual identity of Magic: The Gathering. The art focuses on themes of subjugation and arcane command, typical of the aesthetic direction for the set. Upon release, the card was received as a functional tool for the Archenemy format, specifically noted for its ability to disrupt an opponent's board state while reinforcing the thematic goal of the villainous deck.
