Where it came from
Carom was released in 2006 as part of the Dissension set, the final expansion in the Ravnica: City of Guilds block for Magic: The Gathering. As an instant card representing the Boros Legion, it embodies the set's focus on multicolored mechanics and the militaristic, justice-oriented flavor of Ravnica's tenth district. The card was designed to provide white-aligned decks with a versatile removal option, allowing players to redirect damage while simultaneously dealing with enemy creatures.
The artwork was provided by Alex Horley-Orlandelli, a prolific illustrator known for his dynamic, high-contrast style within the fantasy genre. Horley-Orlandelli’s interpretation of Carom captures the kinetic energy and tactical precision expected of the Boros guild, utilizing bold lighting to emphasize the redirection effect described in the card's rules text. Upon its release, the card was received as a functional common, frequently utilized in limited play environments where its ability to influence combat math offered a strategic advantage.
