Where it came from
Snapcaster Mage was originally released in the 2011 Magic: The Gathering expansion Innistrad. The card was designed by Tiago Chan, who earned the right to design a card after winning the 2007 Magic Invitational tournament. His concept sought to create a creature that captured the utility of a spellcaster who could reuse discarded magic, leading to the card's iconic ability to give flashback to instants and sorceries in a player's graveyard.
The artwork for the card was commissioned from Volkan Baǵa, who depicted a robed wizard mid-incantation. The card quickly became a staple in eternal formats due to its high level of efficiency and strategic versatility. The List is a curated selection of cards from Magic's history that Wizards of the Coast includes in set boosters, allowing iconic cards like this one to be reprinted periodically for new players to acquire.
