Where it came from
Research // Development was released in May 2006 as part of Dissension, the final expansion set in the Ravnica: City of Guilds block for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. The set focuses on the remaining three guilds of the plane—Azorius, Rakdos, and Simic—with this card representing the Simic Combine, a faction dedicated to biological enhancement and evolution. Designed by Wizards of the Coast, the split card mechanic reflects the duality of the guild's scientific mandate.
The card was illustrated by Greg Staples, who captured the fluid, organic aesthetic central to the Simic guild's identity. Within the competitive community, the card is remembered for its utility in limited formats and its thematic adherence to the 'evolve' flavor of the block. It remains a hallmark of the Ravnica era, embodying the set's emphasis on multicolored mechanics and guild-specific spells.
