Where it came from
Tricks of the Trade is a blue sorcery card featured in the Magic: The Gathering Welcome Deck 2017. This set was designed by Wizards of the Coast as an introductory product to provide new players with balanced, easy-to-learn decks that showcase the core mechanics of the game's various color identities. The card itself serves as a functional tool for beginners to understand the mechanics of local buffs, granting a creature +2/+0 and unblockability to help facilitate combat strategies in a simplified environment.
The illustration for this card was created by artist Igor Kieryluk, whose work often captures the fantastical and kinetic nature of the Magic: The Gathering multiverse. The design aesthetic for the 2017 Welcome Deck focused on high-visibility gameplay and clear, accessible iconography, ensuring that players unfamiliar with complex stack interactions could easily parse the card's effect during a match. Upon release, it was well-received as a staple of the introductory experience for its straightforward utility in teaching combat pressure.
