Where it came from
Dark Ritual is a foundational card in Magic: The Gathering, originally debuting in the game's 1993 Alpha set. As a black instant that grants three black mana for the cost of one, it has long been considered one of the most powerful and efficient acceleration spells in the game's history. Its inclusion in the 2012 Planechase release served to provide players with a functional reprint of a staple that had defined high-speed, competitive play for nearly two decades.
The Planechase version of the card features distinct illustrative work by Clint Langley. Known for his unique blend of traditional painting and digital manipulation, Langley sought to capture the visceral, ritualistic essence of the card's function. The art was well-received by the community for its dark, atmospheric aesthetic, which aligned with the card's role as a quintessential tool for powering out aggressive threats in the early turns of a game.
