Where it came from
Shock was originally printed in the Stronghold expansion of Magic: The Gathering in 1998, but the specific version from Aether Revolt, numbered 98, was released in January 2017. The Aether Revolt set focused on the inventions and political instability of the plane of Kaladesh, and this iteration features art by Aleksi Briclot. His design leans into the vibrant, art-deco inspired aesthetic of the setting, utilizing a clean, digital style to depict the magical energy commonly harnessed by the inhabitants of the city of Ghirapur.
The card is a staple of the red color identity in Magic, representing a quick, low-cost burn spell that has remained functionally consistent throughout the history of the game. By the time of Aether Revolt, its inclusion was intended to provide players with a reliable, efficient removal tool within the Standard format. It was well-received by the player base as a versatile utility card that rewards deck-building efficiency and reactive play during the fast-paced matches characteristic of the era.
