Where it came from
Pest Summoning was released in 2021 as part of the Strixhaven: School of Mages expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The card was designed for the Witherbloom College, one of the five distinct houses at the Strixhaven University of Mages, which focuses on the intersection of life and death magic. The card operates as a 'Learn' spell, a mechanics-focused innovation for the set that allows players to tutor a Lesson card from their sideboard, reflecting the theme of students practicing specific academic disciplines within the university curriculum.
The card's art was created by illustrator Caio Monteiro, who captured the visceral, dark aesthetic associated with Witherbloom. The illustration depicts the summoning of small, pest-like creatures—a signature action for students who use decaying organic matter to fuel their spells. Upon its release, the card became a staple in various formats, particularly for its efficiency and its ability to provide utility by fetching specific silver-bullet cards during competitive play.
