Where it came from
Persecute was originally released as part of the Urza's Saga set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game in 1998. The card was designed to be a potent tool for disruption, forcing opponents to discard cards of a chosen color. Its inclusion in the 1999 World Championship Decks reflects its status as a staple of competitive play during that era, appearing in the sideboard of the winning deck piloted by Kai Budde, which helped cement its reputation as a high-tier strategic asset.
The artwork for this card was created by artist Greg Staples, whose illustrative style often leans into the dark and visceral themes inherent to the game's lore. The design intended to visually represent the oppressive and exclusionary nature of the spell, utilizing stark lighting and dramatic composition to emphasize the feeling of targeted removal. Within the World Championship Deck series, these cards are distinguished by unique gold-bordered backs and facsimile signatures, created to allow fans to experience and play with the exact deck lists used by top-level professionals at the world stage.
