Where it came from
Turn Aside originally debuted in the Eldritch Moon expansion for Magic: The Gathering, released in 2016. The set focuses on the Eldrazi horror themes infiltrating the plane of Innistrad, and the card's mechanics reflect this by allowing a player to protect a permanent from a targeted spell, serving as a tactical defensive measure during the chaotic battles depicted in the set's narrative.
The card features artwork by Jaime Jones, who sought to capture a moment of deflection that fits the gothic-horror aesthetic of the set. By using a visual style that emphasizes magical energy shifting away from its intended target, Jones successfully conveyed the card's function while maintaining the darker, more unsettling tone associated with the Eldritch Moon block. Its inclusion in 'The List'—a rotating pool of reprints found in Set Boosters—ensures that this specific iteration remains accessible to players in modern drafting and deck-building contexts.
