Where it came from
Start from Scratch was released in 2021 as part of the Strixhaven: School of Mages expansion for Magic: The Gathering. Set within the multiversal academy of Strixhaven, the card represents the Witherbloom college, which focuses on the intersection of life and death, biology and essence. Mechanically and thematically, it embodies the college's 'learn' mechanic, allowing players to pull cards from outside their deck to represent the act of researching or seeking new knowledge.
The artwork was created by illustrator Caio Monteiro, who focused on the visceral, naturalistic aesthetic characteristic of Witherbloom. The illustration depicts a student utilizing swamp-based magic to recycle resources, echoing the set's broader design goal of blending growth with decay. Upon release, it was received as a versatile utility card within the Limited format, praised for its ability to provide flexible solutions during gameplay.
