Where it came from
Quicken was originally printed in the 2006 Guildpact expansion for Magic: The Gathering, but this specific version appeared in the 2017 Duel Decks: Mind vs. Might release. The Duel Decks series was designed to showcase the thematic conflict between two contrasting philosophies of play—in this case, the calculated control of blue magic versus the raw, aggressive power of red magic. By reprinting Quicken within this product, Wizards of the Coast provided players with a tool that allowed instant-speed sorcery play, emphasizing the 'Mind' deck's ability to manipulate the flow of time and reaction.
The artwork for this printing features the signature style of the era, focusing on the arcane energy of the Izzet League, the guild associated with this card's mechanical utility. The design intent behind Quicken has always been to break the traditional rules of speed in the game, allowing players to bypass the typical restrictions on sorceries. Upon its release in the Duel Decks, it was well-received by fans of the series for its utility in disrupting an opponent's momentum, serving as a classic example of the strategic depth inherent to the Izzet color identity.
