Faithless Looting

Faithless Looting first appeared in the 2012 Magic: The Gathering set Dark Ascension. Designed as a red sorcery that allows a player to draw two cards and discard two, it quickly became a staple for its efficient graveyard synergy. The card was created to provide red-aligned decks with card filtering, balancing raw speed with the resource management typical of high-level play.

The artwork for this specific version was rendered by Karl Kopinski, a prolific illustrator known for his gritty, character-focused style. Kopinski captured the frantic energy of the spell through expressive brushwork, emphasizing the chaotic scramble for resources that defines the card’s function. This particular printing, appearing in 'The List'—a rotating selection of cards reprinted in set boosters—brings Kopinski’s distinct aesthetic to a modern audience, maintaining the card's status as a fundamental tool in various competitive formats.
