Provenance

Where it came from

Malfunction was released as part of the Foundations Jumpstart set, a product designed to serve as an accessible entry point for new Magic: The Gathering players. The card functions as a common enchantment, designed with a focus on simplicity and thematic resonance to help bridge the gap between complex mechanics and intuitive gameplay during the game's broader foundational shifts.

The card features artwork by Izzy, a long-time contributor to the game's visual identity. The design approach emphasizes the chaotic, disruptive nature of the card's effect, utilizing a vibrant and slightly distorted aesthetic to convey the theme of mechanical or magical failure that defines the card's gameplay utility.
