Where it came from
Karma was released as part of the Limited Edition Beta set in 1993, representing the second printing of the Magic: The Gathering core set. This expansion was created by Wizards of the Coast to meet the overwhelming demand for the initial Alpha release, serving as the definitive base set for the early years of the game. It was designed during a period when the game's mechanics were still being refined, aiming to offer players a robust collection of cards that defined the foundational gameplay experience.
The card features artwork by Christopher Rush, one of the most iconic illustrators in the game's early history. His design for Karma draws on the thematic concept of karmic retribution, utilizing a visual style that prioritizes bold, illustrative clarity characteristic of the fantasy gaming aesthetics of the early 1990s. The card was well-received by players of the era for its distinct white-mana enchantment effect, which serves as a punishing tax on decks utilizing black-mana creatures, reflecting the strategic balance Wizards sought to instill in the game’s color pie.
