Where it came from
Slip Out the Back was released in 2022 as part of the Streets of New Capenna expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The set draws heavy inspiration from 1920s Art Deco aesthetics and organized crime tropes, centering on a metropolis run by five rival demon-led families. This card functions as a blue instant spell, reflecting the set's focus on clandestine operations, evasion, and the shifting loyalties characteristic of the city's corrupt underworld.
The card’s artwork was illustrated by Evyn Fong, who utilized a moody, atmospheric style to capture the sensation of a character vanishing into the shadows. The design emphasizes the 'phasing' mechanic, which temporarily removes a creature from the game to protect it from danger. Upon its release, the card was well-received by players for its efficiency as a defensive tool in competitive formats, particularly in decks that rely on protecting key creatures from removal effects.
