Faithless Looting

Faithless Looting originated in the 2012 Magic: The Gathering expansion Dark Ascension. Designed as a red sorcery that allows a player to draw two cards and discard two, the card became a defining staple of competitive formats like Modern due to its efficiency in enabling graveyard-focused strategies. Its mechanical design by the Wizards of the Coast team prioritized high-velocity card filtering, intentionally pushing the boundaries of red’s impulsive utility.

The inclusion of this specific printing in The List, designated by the planeswalker symbol in the bottom-left corner, represents the periodic tradition of reprinting iconic cards in set booster products. This version maintains the original illustration by Cliff Childs, which features a stark, dramatic depiction of a scavenger amidst ruin. The card has been widely received as a fundamental component of various archetype-defining decks, eventually leading to its restriction in certain formats due to its sheer consistency.
