Where it came from
Price of Knowledge was introduced in 2013 as part of the Commander 2013 set, a release designed specifically for the popular multiplayer Magic: The Gathering format. It appeared in the 'Evasive Maneuvers' deck, which focused on the Derevi, Empyrial Tactician commander and emphasized board manipulation and tax-based strategies. The card was created to serve as a reward for players holding large hands, functioning as both a damage dealer and a deterrent for opponents who attempt to maintain card advantage.
The artwork for this card was commissioned from illustrator Lucas Graciano, known for his work on fantasy landscapes and character portraits. Graciano opted for a dark, scholarly aesthetic that captures the intellectual burden suggested by the card's name, blending arcane symbolism with an imposing visual weight. Upon its release, the card was well-received by commander players for its role in attrition-based decks, particularly those utilizing blue-white color identities to punish opponents for drawing cards.
