Provenance

Where it came from

Tine Shrike was released in 2011 as part of the Mirrodin Besieged set, the second expansion in the Scars of Mirrodin block for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Set on the metallic, artificial world of Mirrodin, the card represents the Phyrexian faction as they wage war to convert the plane's inhabitants. Mechanically, the card was designed to highlight the infect keyword, a signature ability of the Phyrexians that represents corruption and decay.

The artwork was provided by Adrian Smith, a prolific illustrator known for his gritty, dark aesthetic within the fantasy and sci-fi genres. Smith's depiction of the Shrike emphasizes the biomechanical, insectoid nature of Phyrexian design, utilizing sharp angles and visceral textures to communicate the creature's lethality. Within the game's environment, the card was widely utilized in the Limited formats of the time as an efficient flying threat capable of applying early pressure.
