Where it came from
Fear was originally released in the Alpha set of Magic: The Gathering in 1993, designed by Richard Garfield as a foundational black-aligned spell. As an early-era common, it served to define the color's thematic reliance on evasion and terror, mechanically preventing non-black creatures from blocking the target. The card quickly became a staple in early play environments, illustrating the game's initial focus on aggressive, color-keyed interactions.
The Tenth Edition version, featuring the collector number 142★, was released in 2007 as part of the game's core set refresh. The artwork for this iteration was created by Matt Cavotta, who sought to capture a visceral, haunting interpretation of the abstract concept of fear. The card was well-received by players for its classic utility and served as a reminder of the game's design history during the transition into a more modern aesthetic for core sets.
