What it does
Lightning Javelin deals 3 damage to any target. Scry 1. (Look at the top card of your library. You may put that card on the bottom.)
The harpies descended without mercy upon Akros, only to find their attack put them within range of the javelineers.

Where it came from
Lightning Javelin was released as part of the Magic Origins set in July 2015, a core set designed to bridge the gap between the game's rich lore and the personal histories of its most iconic Planeswalkers. The set functioned as an origin story for five central characters, and the card art and mechanical design were crafted to evoke the raw, elemental magic prevalent in the game's foundational settings.
The card was illustrated by Johannes Voss, a long-time contributor to the Magic: The Gathering franchise. Voss opted for a dynamic, high-energy composition that emphasizes the swift, piercing nature of the weapon. While the card occupies a utilitarian space within the set’s mechanics, its clean aesthetic and efficient design were well-received by players seeking versatile tools for limited-format gameplay.
