Where it came from
Run Afoul was released in 2020 as part of the Magic: The Gathering Core Set 2021. The card was designed to function within the set's green color identity, which frequently utilizes mechanics that punish creatures with flying, a common ability for white and blue creatures. Its inclusion in a core set was intended to provide players with a functional, cost-effective tool for sideboarding in various competitive formats.
The card features artwork by the illustrator Daarken, who has contributed to numerous Magic: The Gathering sets. The design captures the essence of a creature being forcibly grounded, consistent with the card's mechanical function of forcing an opponent to sacrifice a creature with flying. Upon release, it was viewed as a staple utility card, valued primarily for its specific interaction rather than aesthetic or collectible rarity.
