Where it came from
Side Quest is a card from the 2017 Magic: The Gathering expansion set Unstable. As part of the game's third 'Un-set,' it was designed as a parody-focused experience that pushes the boundaries of traditional rules. The set aimed to blend humor with experimental mechanics that would not be viable in standard tournament play, providing a lighthearted break from the more serious tone of the core game.
The card was illustrated by artist Matt Cavotta, who has a long history with the franchise. In keeping with the whimsical nature of the Unstable set, the design features a playful, meta-fictional approach that requires players to literally complete a 'side quest'—a task unrelated to the game's core combat—to reap a reward. Upon its release, it was well-received by casual players and fans of the game's quirky, self-referential humor for how it successfully translated digital gaming tropes into a tabletop format.
