Where it came from
Throes of Chaos is a sorcery card first introduced in the Modern Horizons set in 2019, later reprinted in the 2021 Secrets of Strixhaven Commander deck. It was designed to support the 'cascade' mechanic, allowing players to cast the card from their graveyard for its retrace cost, thereby triggering a cascade effect that rewards players for playing lands and maintaining a high density of lower-cost spells in their deck.
The card features artwork by Wisnu Tan, who captured the chaotic, swirling energy implied by the spell's mechanical function. Within the context of the Strixhaven Commander series, the card was included to provide players with a resilient, repeatable engine for spell-based decks, fitting well into the theme of magical study and experimentation prevalent in that particular expansion.
