What it does
Whenever an artifact becomes tapped or a player activates an artifact's ability without tap in its activation cost, this enchantment deals 1 damage to that artifact's controller.
These devices lured so many spirits that sometimes entire battlefields would become haunted at once.

Where it came from
Haunting Wind was released in 1994 as part of Antiquities, the third expansion set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Developed by Wizards of the Coast, the set was designed to explore the lore of the fictional continent of Terisiare, focusing on themes of ancient artifacts and the ecological aftermath of a magical war. The cards in this set are notable for their distinctive early-90s aesthetic and their experimental approach to game mechanics, which helped solidify the game's cultural footprint during its foundational years.
The artwork for Haunting Wind was created by Dan Frazier, one of the most prolific and recognizable artists from the early era of the game. His illustration style for this card captures the eerie, ethereal nature of the spell, depicting a swirling vortex that reflects the card's function of punishing players for utilizing artifacts. At the time of its release, the card was received as a niche technical choice, designed primarily to serve as a sideboard answer against artifact-heavy strategies in a competitive environment.
