Professor Onyx urged the twins to prepare for the dark mage Extus, sounding very much like someone familiar with the rise of tyrants.

Where it came from
Professor's Warning was released in 2021 as part of the Strixhaven: School of Mages expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The card was designed to reflect the academic and magical atmosphere of Strixhaven University, specifically focusing on the theme of Witherbloom, the college of life and death. Mechanically, the card was crafted to represent a defensive contingency spell, allowing players to protect their creatures from removal by moving them to the top of the library.
The illustration was produced by artist Manuel Castañón, whose work frequently features the dark, organic aesthetic associated with Witherbloom. The artwork depicts a cautionary magical ward manifesting in a swampy, scholarly environment, aiming to capture the tension between arcane study and the dangerous natural forces the college studies. Upon its release, the card was noted by players for its niche utility in deck-building formats like Commander, where preserving key creatures is often essential for long-term strategy.
