Provenance

Where it came from

Mizzium Mortars was originally introduced in the 2012 Magic: The Gathering set Return to Ravnica, representing the signature explosive weaponry of the Izzet League, a guild of mad scientists and pyromancers. The card is a sorcery that deals damage to creatures controlled by an opponent, with an overloaded version capable of hitting the entire board, reflecting the chaotic and destructive nature of Izzet engineering.

This specific version, released as a Secret Lair drop, features artwork by Sansyu. The design shifts the aesthetic toward a sleek, modern, and stylized interpretation of the spell, moving away from the gritty, industrial Ravnica-themed illustrations of previous printings. This version is prized by collectors for its high-contrast, artistic take on a classic game effect.
