Provenance

Where it came from

Opt was originally printed in the 2000 set Invasion, designed as a simple yet powerful blue cantrip that allowed players to look at the top card of their library and choose whether to draw it or put it in their graveyard. Its inclusion in the 2019 Throne of Eldraine expansion marked a return for the card in a standard-legal environment, featuring new artwork by Titus Lunter that emphasized the high-fantasy, storybook aesthetic characterizing the set's plane of Eldraine.

The Throne of Eldraine version of Opt is notable for its thematic integration into the set's folklore-inspired world. Titus Lunter’s design leaned into the magical atmosphere of the Eldraine setting, depicting a scholar or mage peering into a mystical orb. The card was well-received by the competitive community for its versatility in deck manipulation, maintaining its status as a staple for deck-thinning and card selection across multiple formats.
