Provenance

Where it came from

Tangle Angler was released in 2010 as part of the Scars of Mirrodin expansion, a set that revisited the plane of Mirrodin and introduced the return of the Phyrexians. Within the game's lore, the card represents the corruption of the native wildlife as the mechanical, parasitic Phyrexian influence began to reshape the world's ecosystem. The design focuses on the 'infect' mechanic, a hallmark of the set that highlights the theme of biological and technological assimilation.

The artwork was provided by Igor Kieryluk, who depicted the creature with the unsettling, biomechanical aesthetic central to the Phyrexians. By blending organic anatomy with jagged metal protrusions, the illustration aimed to evoke a sense of uncanny dread typical of the New Phyrexian faction. Upon release, the card was widely utilized in Limited formats for its ability to manipulate combat, serving as a functional representation of the set's aggressive environmental transformation.
