Provenance

Where it came from

Time Distortion was released in the 2012 Planes expansion for Magic: The Gathering, a supplemental set designed to support the multiplayer Planechase format. The card functions as a plane card, representing a shifting dimension that players navigate during gameplay, specifically reflecting the chaotic and non-linear nature of time within the game's multiverse lore.

The artwork was commissioned from rk post, a prolific artist in the Magic: The Gathering community known for his distinctively surreal and atmospheric style. In this piece, he utilizes vibrant, distorted color palettes and jagged forms to visually interpret the warping of temporal flow, an aesthetic choice that received positive reception for its ability to convey the disorienting mechanics of the Planechase format.
