Provenance

Where it came from

Wiretapping was released in 2022 as part of the Streets of New Capenna expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The set is deeply inspired by the noir aesthetics and organized crime tropes of the 1920s, placing players in a city dominated by five distinct demon-led families. As an enchantment, the card mechanically captures the act of surveillance and intelligence gathering that defined the espionage-heavy narrative of the set.

The card's striking visual style was crafted by artist Jason A. Engle, who utilized a moody, cinematic color palette to evoke the clandestine atmosphere of a noir thriller. The artwork centers on the theme of illicit observation, fitting within the set's broader art direction which emphasizes Art Deco architecture and high-stakes intrigue. It was designed to provide players with a persistent card-drawing advantage, thematic to the card's namesake role of gathering secrets.
