Provenance

Where it came from

Fortune Thief was originally printed in the Saviors of Kamigawa expansion in 2005, designed to showcase the unique mechanics of the Kamigawa block, which focused heavily on hand size and spirits. The card features an ability that prevents the player from losing the game due to life total, provided they have a card in their hand, capturing the flavor of a spectral entity guarding one's vitality.

For the Masters 25 set, released in 2018 to celebrate the twenty-five-year history of Magic: The Gathering, the card was reprinted to bring a classic effect to a contemporary draft environment. The illustration by Greg Staples maintains the haunting, ethereal aesthetic of the original, emphasizing the card's role as a niche but mechanically distinct defensive asset within the game's long-standing roster of creatures.
