Dimir Infiltrator

Dimir Infiltrator was originally printed in the 2005 Ravnica: City of Guilds set, representing the clandestine agents of House Dimir, one of the ten influential guilds on the plane of Ravnica. The card was later reprinted in the 2012 Planechase series as part of the 'Night of the Ninja' deck. This supplemental product was designed to bring the chaotic, multidimensional skirmishes of the Magic: The Gathering multiverse to the tabletop, utilizing unique plane cards to alter the state of play.

The artwork for this specific printing was rendered by Jim Nelson, a long-time contributor to the game who is noted for his ability to depict gritty, high-fantasy environments. Nelson’s design focuses on the stealth and elusive nature of the Dimir agent, emphasizing the shadowy, architectural aesthetic of Ravnica. The card’s mechanical identity—combining unblockability with the ability to tutor for other low-cost cards—made it a staple in various formats, particularly the Pauper format, where its utility as both a threat and a utility tool has been consistently valued by players.
