Provenance

Where it came from

Witness Protection was released in 2022 as part of the Streets of New Capenna expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The set draws heavy inspiration from the Art Deco period and the gritty, noir-inflected aesthetics of 1920s organized crime, framing the plane of New Capenna as a sprawling metropolis ruled by five demon-led crime families. This card functions as an aura that turns a target creature into a powerless civilian, mechanically reflecting the act of placing a dangerous individual into a protective program to keep them out of harm's way.

The artwork was commissioned from illustrator Dominik Mayer, who is known for his distinct, sharp-edged, and architectural style that emphasizes geometric forms and high-contrast lighting. Mayer was tasked with capturing the bureaucratic absurdity of a magical mob-run city, depicting a powerful creature rendered suddenly mundane by the intervention of the city's authorities. The piece was well-received by the player base for its humorous visual storytelling, which provides a lighthearted contrast to the often violent and high-stakes nature of the game's combat scenarios.
