Reset

Reset was released in 1994 as part of the Legends expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Developed by Wizards of the Coast, the set was notable for incorporating lore and characters from the game's fledgling storyline, specifically focusing on the conflicts involving the wizard Nicol Bolas. The card was designed to reflect high-level temporal manipulation, serving as a powerful blue instant that allows players to untap all lands they control during an opponent's turn.

The artwork for the card was provided by Nicola Leonard, a contributor who produced several pieces during the early years of the game. Her illustration style for the set leaned into the atmospheric and surrealist aesthetic typical of the era, aiming to capture the chaotic nature of time-shifting. Upon release, the card gained significant interest in competitive play due to its unique ability to disrupt the traditional flow of game turns, ultimately leading to its restriction in several tournament formats.
