Provenance

Where it came from

The Pentad Prism originated in the Fifth Dawn set of Magic: The Gathering, released in 2004 as part of the Mirrodin block. Designed to manipulate mana resources, the card reflects the set's thematic focus on artifact-centric mechanics and the complex economy of colored mana. It was subsequently reprinted in Double Masters, a compilation set released in 2020 designed to curate powerful and fan-favorite cards for a premium draft experience.

The artwork for this version, illustrated by Aleksi Briclot, emphasizes the artifact's crystalline, geometric nature. Briclot's interpretation is noted for its clean, modern aesthetic which contrasts with the original industrial look of the Fifth Dawn release. The card remains a staple in various formats, such as Pauper and Modern, where its versatility as both a ramp tool and a color-fixing engine continues to be valued by players.
