Reap What Is Sown

Reap What Is Sown was released in 2014 as part of the Born of the Gods expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Set on the plane of Theros, which draws heavy inspiration from Greek mythology, this card features the 'Strive' mechanic, allowing players to increase the card's effect by targeting multiple creatures. It reflects the set's thematic emphasis on divine intervention and the consequences of one's actions within a pantheonic society.

The card’s illustration was created by artist Igor Kieryluk, whose work often defines the aesthetic of the Theros block through rich, dramatic lighting and heroic figures. The design aims to capture the essence of a divine boon bestowed upon a loyal follower, reinforcing the set's focus on the bond between mortals and deities. Upon its release, the card was received as a functional, if situational, combat trick that leaned into the synergy-heavy nature of the Selesnya-aligned mechanics present in the set.
