Provenance

Where it came from

Strife Scholar // Awaken the Ages was released as part of the Secrets of Strixhaven expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Within the narrative of the set, this double-faced card represents the academic rigor and magical experimentation found at Strixhaven University, the premier institution for spellcasters in the multiverse. The card design highlights the dual nature of scholarly pursuit, transitioning from a student of strife to the awakening of latent, ancient potential.

The artwork was commissioned from illustrator Craig J Spearing, known for his work across several fantasy card games. Spearing employed a dynamic visual style to capture the transformation between the scholar's disciplined research and the eventual manifestation of power. The piece was well-received by players for its thematic resonance, illustrating the university's focus on the intersection of theoretical study and practical, high-stakes magical application.
