Where it came from
The Sword of Once and Future was released in 2023 as part of the Magic: The Gathering set March of the Machine. It serves as the final installment in the long-running 'Sword of X and Y' cycle, a series of powerful artifact equipment cards that represent iconic weapons from the game's Multiverse. The card was designed to mechanically reflect its namesake by allowing players to both cast spells from their graveyard and create tokens that copy spells, thematic nods to past and future temporal mechanics.
The artwork was commissioned from illustrator Joshua Cairos, who sought to capture the high-fantasy, legendary nature of the weapon. His design employs the signature aesthetic established by previous entries in the cycle, utilizing glowing motifs and ornate metalwork to convey an sense of ancient power. Upon its release, the card was widely discussed by players for its complex utility, and it quickly became a staple choice for collectors and competitors looking to complete the decade-spanning cycle of legendary swords.
