Where it came from
Throttle was released in 2016 as part of the Shadows over Innistrad set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Set within the gothic horror-themed plane of Innistrad, the card reflects the set's central narrative arc involving the corruption of the archangel Avacyn and the mysterious influence of the Eldrazi titan Emrakul. It was designed as a common-rarity removal spell to provide players with a functional, thematic interaction within the set's limited environment.
The artwork for Throttle was illustrated by Magali Villeneuve, a prominent artist known for her atmospheric depictions of fantasy creatures. Villeneuve utilized a dark, muted color palette to emphasize the oppressive, transformative nature of the horror unfolding in the province of Gavony. The design was received by the player base as a standard, utilitarian card that effectively reinforced the set's focus on grim, transformative struggle without significantly impacting competitive constructed formats.
