Where it came from
Pest Control was released as part of The Big Score, a specialized expansion set that leaned into themes of urban management and clandestine operations. Designed to introduce mechanical disruption to opponent strategies, the card functions by forcing players to discard resource-intensive units. Its development was driven by a desire to provide a tactical counter-balance to the rapid expansion strategies prevalent in the competitive meta at the time.
The card features artwork commissioned from an established illustrator within the franchise who focused on a gritty, industrial aesthetic. The design purposefully employs a stark contrast between the foreground pest and the cluttered architectural background to signal the card's disruptive nature. Upon release, it was noted by the community for its efficiency in late-game scenarios, quickly becoming a staple in control-oriented deck archetypes.
