Where it came from
Reverse Engineer was originally printed in the Aether Revolt expansion for Magic: The Gathering, released in early 2017. As an artifact-focused spell set within the steampunk-inspired plane of Kaladesh, the card reflects the set's mechanical emphasis on 'Improvise,' allowing players to tap artifacts to reduce the casting cost of spells. This specific version was released as a promotional card for the Friday Night Magic program, a weekly grassroots organized play event hosted by local game stores worldwide to encourage community participation.
The illustration for the card was created by artist Svetlin Velinov, a long-time contributor to the Magic: The Gathering aesthetic. Velinov designed the piece to capture the essence of Kaladeshi invention, depicting a tinkerer dismantling an automaton to study its intricate gears and mechanisms. As a promotional release, this FNM foil variant features unique frame treatments that distinguish it from the standard card stock, making it a sought-after aesthetic upgrade for players and collectors who frequent local competitive gaming scenes.
