Provenance

Where it came from

Kira, Great Glass-Spinner was originally introduced in the 2005 Betrayers of Kamigawa expansion, reflecting the Japanese-inspired folklore and spirit-focused themes of that set. The card represents a powerful illusionist from the cycle of legendary creatures, designed to provide a defensive tax effect that forces opponents to expend additional resources to interact with the player's board. By requiring spells or abilities to be played twice to affect her or other creatures, Kira fundamentally altered the tempo of interaction in competitive play.

The artwork was commissioned from Kev Walker, a prolific illustrator known for his distinct, gritty, and expressive style within the game. For this piece, Walker focused on the ethereal, fragile nature of the spirit, using translucent layers and sharp, angular forms to evoke the theme of glass-spinning. When the card was reprinted in the 2015 Modern Masters set, it retained its status as a staple for blue-based control and tempo decks, where its ability to protect key assets remains highly valued for its efficiency and disruptive potential.
