Where it came from
Throttle was released in 2016 as part of the Shadows over Innistrad expansion for Magic: The Gathering. This set returned players to the gothic horror-inspired plane of Innistrad, focusing on themes of madness, transformation, and cosmic dread as the plane descended into chaos caused by the Eldrazi titan Emrakul. The card functions as a common-rarity instant, representing the grim and visceral nature of combat within the set's oppressive atmospheric narrative.
The artwork was commissioned from Raymond Swanland, a prolific artist known for his high-energy, dynamic, and often aggressive aesthetic. In illustrating Throttle, Swanland utilized his signature style of sharp, jagged brushwork and intense motion to capture the brutal moment of impact. The design emphasizes the physical force and predatory suddenness of the card's effect, fitting firmly within the dark, supernatural visual language that defines the Innistrad block.
