Plummet

Plummet was included in the Magic 2013 core set, released by Wizards of the Coast in July 2012. As a staple green common, the card was designed to serve as a functional, cost-effective tool for players to destroy flying creatures, reinforcing the color pie's limitation where green lacks direct interaction with the air unless it is specifically punishing aerial threats. Its presence in the set provided necessary balance in limited formats, ensuring that flyers did not become overly dominant in the gameplay environment.

The artwork for this specific printing was illustrated by Johannes Voss. Voss sought to capture the visceral moment of a bird of prey or dragon being forced from the sky, utilizing a dynamic composition that emphasized the sudden impact of gravity. The illustration was well-received for its clean, readable aesthetic, which became a hallmark of Voss's contributions to the game during that era, eventually leading to his status as a highly sought-after artist among Magic: The Gathering collectors.
