Where it came from
Turn Aside was released in 2016 as part of the Eldritch Moon set, the second expansion in the Shadows over Innistrad block for Magic: The Gathering. The set was designed to lean heavily into cosmic horror themes, focusing on the corruption of the plane of Innistrad by the Eldrazi titan Emrakul. The card functions as a situational protective instant, reflecting the defensive efforts of the plane's inhabitants against the overwhelming, transformative influence of the encroaching horror.
The artwork was commissioned from illustrator Jaime Jones, who has been a consistent contributor to the game’s aesthetic. Jones utilized a somber, muted color palette to capture the chaotic and unsettling atmosphere of the set. The visual narrative depicts a frantic moment of magical intervention, intended to evoke the feeling of desperate preservation. Upon release, the card was received as a functional, niche utility piece, often utilized in limited formats for its ability to shield key assets from targeted removal.
