Where it came from
Scheming Symmetry was released as part of the Core Set 2020 expansion for Magic: The Gathering, specifically appearing as a promotional card. The design serves as a black-aligned tutor effect, allowing both the caster and an opponent to search their libraries for a card, reflecting the 'scheming' nature of the color black by requiring a strategic bargain to achieve a desired outcome.
The artwork for this card was created by Bastien L. Deharme, who utilized a stark, high-contrast aesthetic to emphasize the theme of duality and manipulation. The piece was well-received by players for its flavor-driven mechanics, as it effectively simulates a risky pact between two rivals, solidifying its place as a staple in Commander formats where table politics play a significant role.
