Where it came from
Startle was originally released as part of the Innistrad: Midnight Hunt expansion in 2021 before being included in the 2022 Innistrad: Double Feature set. The card depicts a ghostly figure manifesting from a mirror, capturing the gothic horror themes prevalent in the plane of Innistrad. The mechanical design of the card emphasizes the set's focus on the spider and spirit tribal synergies, providing players with both a creature token and a buff to the board state.
The Double Feature iteration of the card is notable for its distinct monochromatic art style, which serves as a stylistic homage to classic horror cinema. Wizards of the Coast utilized a 'silver screen' treatment for this set, printing cards in black and white to evoke the atmosphere of vintage creature features. While the mechanical performance of Startle remained consistent with its original release, this version was specifically curated for collectors interested in the unique aesthetic presentation of the Double Feature draft environment.
