Where it came from
Carrion was released in October 1996 as part of the Mirage expansion set for Magic: The Gathering. As the third set in the Mirage block, it was designed to emphasize a tropical, thematic atmosphere and introduced new mechanics like phasing and flanking. The card reflects the set's broader focus on darker, organic themes and creature-based interactions within the game's evolving mechanics during the mid-nineties.
The card features artwork by Margaret Organ-Kean, who contributed several illustrations to the Mirage expansion. Her design for Carrion visually interprets the grim nature of the spell, aligning with the aesthetic direction of Wizards of the Coast at the time, which sought to distinguish Magic's visual identity through distinct, painterly card art. Like many common cards from the era, it is primarily valued today for its historical place within the foundational years of the game.
