Where it came from
Mission Briefing was released in October 2018 as part of the Guilds of Ravnica expansion for Magic: The Gathering. Set on the cityscape plane of Ravnica, the card represents the tactical espionage utilized by the Dimir guild. It was designed as a blue sorcery that mirrors the effect of Snapcaster Mage, allowing players to look at the top of their library and cast a card from their graveyard, emphasizing the library-manipulation and graveyard-recycling mechanics central to the set's blue-black color identity.
The card features artwork by Anna Steinbauer, who rendered the clandestine atmosphere of a guild meeting. Steinbauer sought to capture the shadowy, intellectual nature of the Dimir, depicting a mysterious figure consulting a holographic projection. The card was well-received by competitive players for its utility in constructed formats, where it provided a repeatable way to access powerful instants and sorceries while simultaneously filtering the deck.
