Where it came from
Smell Fear was released in 2021 as part of the Modern Horizons 2 expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The set was specifically designed to introduce powerful, complex cards directly into the Modern format without them needing to pass through a Standard legal release, drawing on both new designs and deep-cut references to the game's expansive history.
The card was illustrated by Cristi Balanescu, who utilized a visceral, high-contrast style to depict the mechanical concept of proliferating counters. The artwork emphasizes the predatory nature of the spell, capturing a moment of intense focus that aligns with the card's function as a green sorcery that utilizes the 'proliferate' mechanic to build up power on the battlefield.
