Where it came from
Tricks of the Trade was released as part of the Magic: The Gathering Welcome Deck 2017. These decks were designed by Wizards of the Coast as entry-level tools to introduce new players to the game mechanics and thematic flavor of the Multiverse, serving as a simplified gateway for those learning the complex rules of the trading card game.
The card features artwork by Steven Belledin, a long-time illustrator for the franchise known for his atmospheric and moody style. In this piece, he portrays the essence of blue-aligned manipulation, emphasizing the theme of deceptive combat utility. The card was received as a functional, low-cost utility spell intended for Limited formats and beginner play, reflecting the broader design philosophy of providing clear, illustrative examples of enchantment-based combat modification.
