Where it came from
Send in the Pest was released in 2021 as part of the Strixhaven: School of Mages expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The card was designed to highlight the flavor of the Witherbloom College, which emphasizes the cycle of life and death through the sacrifice of creatures to fuel magical effects. It fits into the set's broader mechanical identity of using 'Pest' tokens as expendable resources for player gain.
The artwork for the card was created by illustrator Antonio José Manzanedo. His design focuses on the eerie, organic aesthetic of Witherbloom, depicting a swarm of insectoid creatures coalescing under the command of a mage. Upon release, the card was received as a functional, low-cost utility piece that served as a staple for deck archetypes focused on sacrificial synergy and board presence.
