Provenance

Where it came from

Waste Not was released in 2014 as part of the Magic 2015 core set. The card was the result of a design contest held by Wizards of the Coast, where the community was invited to submit designs for a new card to be included in the set. The winning submission came from Logan Nettles, who sought to create a card that rewarded players for forcing their opponents to discard cards, a mechanic traditionally associated with black mana in the game.

The card features artwork by Matt Stewart, who illustrated the enchantment to reflect the chaotic nature of the effect. Stewart focused on visualizing the concept of salvaging value from discarded resources, depicting a shadowy figure gathering remnants of magical energy. Upon its release, the card became a favorite among casual and competitive players alike for its ability to generate significant momentum through card advantage and board presence, cementing its place as a classic piece of modern black-aligned enchantment design.
