Provenance

Where it came from

Overgrown Pest was released in 2023 as part of the March of the Machine expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. The set depicted a multiversal invasion orchestrated by the Phyrexians, with this specific card representing a creature entity that thrived amidst the chaotic, warped flora of the Ravnica plane during the conflict.

The card features artwork by illustrator Ilse Gort, who was tasked with visualizing the parasitic and invasive nature of the pest within the set's high-stakes narrative. The design reflects the broader aesthetic of the expansion, which emphasized the hybridization of natural and mechanical elements, and it was received by players as a functional utility creature within the game's evolving mechanical meta.
