Where it came from
Threaten was originally introduced in the Onslaught expansion in 2002, serving as a core red mechanic that allows a player to temporarily gain control of an opponent's creature. The Ninth Edition version, featuring the collector number 223, was released in 2005 as part of a base set designed to introduce newer players to established gameplay staples. This iteration retains the classic functionality while updating the card frame to the modern layout introduced in the Eighth Edition.
The artwork for this specific printing was created by Darrell Riche, an illustrator known for his contributions to the game during the mid-2000s. Riche’s depiction focuses on the visceral, aggressive nature of the card's effect, emphasizing the red color identity's penchant for chaotic, short-term advantages. The card was received by the player base as a reliable, aggressive tool for limited and casual formats, valued for its ability to turn an opponent's strength into a liability during the combat phase.
