Provenance

Where it came from

Zealous Persecution was first introduced in the Alara Reborn expansion in 2009, designed to showcase the aggressive, multi-colored identity of the Orzhov Syndicate within the lore of the game. It functions as a strategic combat trick that simultaneously buffs one's own board presence while shrinking the opponent's creatures, reflecting the duality of the guild's black and white alignment.

The 2014 Modern Event Deck featured this specific printing to provide players with a competitive-grade tool for the Orzhov Tokens archetype. Artist Christopher Moeller illustrated the piece, opting for a stark, dramatic composition that captures the ruthlessness of the guild's inquisitorial style, a visual direction that earned it praise for its thematic resonance with the card's mechanical effects.
