Where it came from
Misdirection was originally printed as a rare card in the Mercadian Masques expansion in 1999, designed as part of a cycle of free spells that utilized alternative casting costs. The 2001 World Championship Deck version reproduces the card exactly as it appeared in professional tournament play, serving as a commemorative artifact of the high-level competitive landscape during that era.
The artwork was created by Paolo Parente, a renowned illustrator known for his dynamic and gritty style. Parente’s depiction of a chaotic, shifting magical deflection captures the essence of the card’s function—redirecting a target to a new path. Within the context of the 2001 World Championship Decks, this card highlights the strategic depth required to navigate the complex environment of competitive Magic: The Gathering at the turn of the millennium.
