Provenance

Where it came from

Opt was originally printed in the 2000 Invasion expansion and quickly became a staple in blue control decks due to its efficiency as a one-mana cantrip. By the time it was reprinted for the 2019 Throne of Eldraine set, the card had been re-evaluated as a fundamental tool for deck manipulation, allowing players to filter their draws and improve consistency in high-stakes formats.

The Throne of Eldraine illustration by Dan Murayama Scott draws heavily on the set’s folkloric, high-fantasy aesthetic, which was inspired by Arthurian legend and Grimms' fairy tales. Scott’s interpretation moves away from the more clinical or abstract art seen on previous versions of the card, opting instead for a scene that feels embedded in the atmospheric, wooded realm of Eldraine.
