Provenance

Where it came from

Recoil was originally printed in the 2000 Invasion expansion, representing the intersection of blue and black mana within the game's color pie. The card was designed to offer players a versatile control tool, allowing them to return any permanent to its owner's hand while forcing them to discard a card, effectively creating a temporary setback for the opponent. It reflects the mechanical themes of the Invasion block, which emphasized gold cards and multi-colored strategies.

The version from Dominaria Remastered, featuring collector number 365, utilizes the original artwork by Mike Dringenberg. Dringenberg, best known for his influential work on The Sandman, provides a stark, gothic aesthetic that captures the card's disruptive nature. This specific release was part of a curated collection intended to highlight iconic cards from throughout the history of the Dominaria setting, maintaining the visual legacy of early Magic: The Gathering while updating the card frames for modern play.
