Your Will Is Not Your Own

Your Will Is Not Your Own was released in 2010 as part of the inaugural Archenemy set, a specialized product designed for Magic: The Gathering that introduced a cooperative multiplayer format. In this mode, one player assumes the role of the Archenemy, utilizing a deck of oversized Scheme cards to challenge a team of opponents. These cards were created to provide the Archenemy with powerful, game-altering effects that help balance the inherent disadvantage of facing multiple players at once.

The artwork for this particular scheme was illustrated by Matt Cavotta, who served as a prominent artist and creative director for Wizards of the Coast during this era. His design utilizes a dark, surreal aesthetic to convey the theme of mental domination and loss of agency. Upon its release, the Archenemy product line was well-received by players looking for a more narrative, asymmetrical tabletop experience, and the unique card format has since been revisited in subsequent expansions.
