Where it came from
Tricks of the Trade was released in July 2012 as part of the Magic 2013 core set, a collection designed to serve as an accessible entry point for new players while balancing evergreen mechanics. The card functions as an enchantment that grants the enchanted creature +1/+0 and unblockability, a classic blue color-pie utility designed to provide a tactical advantage in the limited format of draft and sealed play.
The card was illustrated by Steven Belledin, a long-time contributor to the Magic: The Gathering franchise. Belledin’s work on this piece captures the theme of subtle manipulation and subterfuge, leaning into the blue-aligned aesthetic of trickery and deceit. Within the context of Magic 2013, the card was received as a functional, low-rarity piece used primarily to push damage through stalled board states in competitive limited environments.
