Card face

What it does

Nontoken creatures you control have riot. (They enter with your choice of a +1/+1 counter or haste.)

If a creature you control with a +1/+1 counter on it would deal damage to a permanent or player, it deals double that damage instead.

The mob had only one rule: Never stop dancing.

Provenance

Where it came from

Uncivil Unrest is a rare enchantment card released as part of the Secret Lair series by Wizards of the Coast. First appearing in the 'Artist Series: Jay Howell' drop, the card was designed to function within the Magic: The Gathering ecosystem, providing a mechanical boost to creature combat by adding counters and granting damage-doubling abilities. Its introduction was part of a broader push to feature distinct, non-traditional artistic styles on functional game pieces, catering to players interested in the intersection of contemporary illustration and hobby gaming.

The artwork was commissioned from Jay Howell, an artist and animator widely recognized for his work on shows like Bob's Burgers. Howell’s signature loose, vibrant, and expressive style provides a stark contrast to the traditional high-fantasy aesthetic typically found in the game. Upon its release, the card drew attention from the community for its bold visual departure from standard set norms, becoming a hallmark example of the Secret Lair initiative's goal to offer stylized, limited-run versions of cards that resonate with specific artistic subcultures.
