Eaten by Piranhas

Eaten by Piranhas is a card released in the Magic: The Gathering set Foundations, which serves as an introductory expansion designed to provide a stable mechanical base for new and returning players. The card features artwork by veteran illustrator Campbell White, whose style captures the visceral, high-stakes nature of the game's creature-based interactions. The design team created this card to function as a thematic and functional piece within the set's broader goal of teaching players about interaction, removal, and the environmental hazards present in the game's multiverse.

The card was developed to be accessible to a wide audience while maintaining the mechanical depth characteristic of the game's long-standing design philosophy. By focusing on a classic, tropes-driven concept, the creators aimed to evoke a sense of nostalgic adventure typical of early tabletop fantasy games. Upon release, it was received as a straightforward, flavorful inclusion that helps players understand how creature-specific spells interact with the board state during competitive play.
