Draw two cards, then sacrifice a permanent.
When the School of the Unseen fell, so many magical treasures lay abandoned that no amount of death could deter the stream of thieves and desperate scholars.

Where it came from
Perilous Research was originally released in the 2010 Magic: The Gathering set Modern Masters. The card was designed as a blue instant that forces a player to draw three cards at the cost of sacrificing a permanent, creating a high-risk, high-reward mechanic that requires careful resource management during competitive play.
The artwork, illustrated by Mike Dringenberg, features a gothic, scholarly aesthetic consistent with the darker themes of the source material. It became a staple in specific combo-oriented decks, such as those utilizing graveyard synergies or permanent-based sacrifice outlets, earning it a reputation among players for its efficiency in digging through a deck during critical turns.
